Strange behaviour. The name of the mod disables/enables feature.

Hi. I'm the creator of the "Bigger Interface" mod.
I have encountered a very strange problem.
For some reason my mod disables the new "Monarch's Journey" feature. Keeping it from being displayed.

The strange part is that the problem is with the mod name. If I change the name of the mod by a single letter, the "Monarch's Journey" window appears and is fully usable. The only change is a single letter in the mod's name in the .mod file. No other files are changed.

Can someone help me understand why this is happening?

I see you updated the mod. What was the fix?

The fix was changing the name of the mod from "Bigger Interface" to "A Bigger Interface".

But I am completely baffled by how or hwy that fixed it.
There is no reason why changing the name of the mod should change anything the mod dose, but nonetheless thats what it did.

Mod name matters for conflicts between mods that modify the same file(s) - I think 1st mod in alphabetical order wins, unless the 2nd mod uses dependencies
Maybe you have an other mod active ?

No other mods. Mod conflict is not the problem. I do know how mod conflict and dependencies work.

Many people have reported that my mod did disable the Monarch's Journey.

Just copying all the files to a new mod, fixes the problem. Even if you just add an empty space at the end of the name of the original mod, it's fixed.

For some reason having the exact string "Bigger Interface" as modname disables the Monarch's journey. The string "Bigger Interface " (mark the trailing empty space) does not.
