Select view as list from Nautilus. Select a large file to download or copy a
large file into your current view (directory). Now attempt to right-click on a
file to rename it. If the file system is continuing to write to the current
directory the focus on the selected file will be lost forcing the user to
right-click again on the file in order to rename it. 

A pseudo-code analysis of the bug: When there is file system activity Nautilus
attempts to update the label data in list view mode. When a file is
right-clicked in Nautilus and either properties or rename is selected the focus
should remain on the user's currently selected file. The UI in Nautilus will
cancel out this focus since it is updating the label data in list view mode. 
Solution: prevent UI Nautilus list-view update from stealing focus if
right-click, rename, or properties dialog is active/in-use.
