Variables doesn't change after moving a tibbit

Electric Film

Automatically generated variables doesn't change "automatically" after you move a tibbit from one socket to another. Now you have to delete the tibbit and place a new one in another place.

Which variables are you referring to?
Can you provide us with a project JSON or screenshots that demonstrates this issue?
If you are referring to IO tibbits (such as 00_1) where the line states are tied to variables then indeed the variable names do not change, but the underlying io line attached to it changes. This is to allow preservation of user defined io line names even when the tibbit has been moved.

Jimmy Hu: 
Yes, it is about generated names for these variables. 
The <socket_name> doesn't change. Thus, if you place another 00_1 on socket 1 you will get a conflict name because variables already exists for 00_1 moved from socket 1 to socket 3. Solution for the moment is to remove tibbit instead of move. 
Plus <socket_name> also helps you to quicly understand which tibbit you are working with while programming (if there are more of the same type on board).
Thank you!
