Howard I have 2012, but I'm not sure where, specifically, you are talking about where the objects get bracketed by the quotename() function;
do you mean when you script an object? I did not see a scripting option for that feature when i peeked there.
i don't see intellisense doing anything like that, so i'm not sure where you are seeing this behavior?
