In case anyone is interested, there's a workaround: it's possible to edit the file that contains the external tool. On gedit3 user generated external tools are stored in ~/.config/gedit/tools There you can change the name of the file and, more importantly, change the name of the external tool. To do that simple open the file and edit the line that says '# Name=New Tool' by putting the name of your choice.

Sorry if this is not the place to post this information, but I thought someone who stumbled upon this bug might find it useful.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.
