GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 664266
folder renaming selects only the part before the last dot in list view

this report has been filed here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/883947 "When renaming a folder the renaming feature behaves exactly like the renaming feature for files. It selects all letters before the last dot and only when you press the F2 button once again, the complete foldername will be selected. I think this behavior isn't correct for folder-renaming because there are no "folder-extensions" like the "file-extensions" that have to be minded. Therefore it would be better, to select the whole foldername." "To reproduce * open nautilus * switch to list view * create folder * name it "test.folder" * select it and press F2 or select "rename" from the right click menu * only "test" will be selected * switch to another view (compact, icon) * select the folder and press F2 or select "rename" from the right click menu * "test.folder" will be selected"
