This bug has been opened here: https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/13356 "If, in the list view, the "Name" column is wider than the nautilus window's area for the list view, nautilus makes renaming a file/folder difficult by centering the column in such a way that the editable text gets actually obscured. (Please, see the attached screenshot) https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/attachment.cgi?id=3210 Screenshot illustrating the bug"
Confirming, nautilus doesn't center, it simply puts the end of the Name column into view.
Moving to bug 309964, which has a patch that should fix this issue. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 309964 ***
