SQL Developer 3.0 EA1 creates case senstive account names

Question

Hi,
When creating a new account with SQL Developer 3.0 EA1, the user name is enclosed in quotes. This creates a case sensitive account name which creates problems when trying to sign. Historically account names have been converted to uppercase internally and during the logon sequence this is expected behavior. Not sure why the SQL Developer 3.0 EA1 team has chosen to start encapsulating usernames during creation in quotes?
Example of create user statement from 2.0
-- USER SQL
CREATE USER why_this_old_way IDENTIFIED BY scott ;
-- ROLES
GRANT "RESOURCE" TO why_this_old_way ;
GRANT "CONNECT" TO why_this_old_way ;
Example of create user statement from 3.0 EA1.
-- USER SQL
CREATE USER "why_this_new_way" IDENTIFIED BY scott ;
-- ROLES
GRANT "RESOURCE" TO "why_this_new_way" ;
GRANT "CONNECT" TO "why_this_new_way" ;
Having case sensitive object names greatly increases the complexity unnecessarily, please don't implement this approach.

Please tell me how you accessed the create user UI. Is this new "functionality" occurring from the DBA Navigator?
It's looking like it changed in both dialogs to me are you seeing the same thing? I'll dig in and see why this was changed.
Thanks,
Syme
