pgAdmin isn't quoting quotes

(1.8RC1)

If for some unusual reason I want to use pgadmin to add a column named:

one "two" three

Then I am able to specify this identifier as

"one ""two"" three"

but pgadmin will always show it as

one "two" three

Which I think is ok, but it shows it in generated SQL as

"one "two" three"

instead of

"one ""two"" three"

So trying to change the column's type (for example) attempts this SQL:

ALTER TABLE dbversion ALTER "one "two" three" TYPE bigint;
ALTER TABLE dbversion ALTER COLUMN "one "two" three" SET STATISTICS -1;

If I alter the name again when changing the type, I get this instead:

ALTER TABLE dbversion RENAME "one "two" three" TO ""one ""two"" three"";
ALTER TABLE dbversion ALTER ""one ""two"" three"" TYPE bigint;
ALTER TABLE dbversion ALTER COLUMN ""one ""two"" three"" SET STATISTICS -1;

Which still doesn't work.

I don't think that this is a high priority bug, as those who use double quotes in identifiers probably deserve less than the level of quality that pgadmin already provides.
