Description Johann Glaser 2004-07-09 01:50:59 UTC
Distribution: Debian testing/unstable
Package: nautilus
Severity: normal
Version: GNOME2.6.1 2.6.x
Gnome-Distributor: Debian
Synopsis: Rename with [F2] problem
Bugzilla-Product: nautilus
Bugzilla-Component: Keyboardability
Bugzilla-Version: 2.6.x
Description:
Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. open a directory with some files
2. view it as list
3. sort the directory by filename
4. click once on the top file to select it 
5. press [F2]
6. rename the file in the way, that it will be the last one (e.g. put
'zz' in front)
7. press [Enter]
--> the file is renamed and the list is resorted, the (new) top most
file is selected
8. press [F2] to rename this one too

Actual Results:
the selected file name (highlighted) flickers but you can't rename it.
You have to press [F2] a second time.

Expected Results:
pressing [F2] only once should be enough to rename the file

How often does this happen:
Hmm, it only happens in some cases. Be sure all files you rename have an
extension. E.g. create a directory with 3 (empty) files File[123].txt.
Then open it in Nautilus and rename File1.txt to zFile1.txt. This worked
for me.


Additional Information:
Nautilus 2.6.1 from Debian package 2.6.1-3
