Description Jean-François Fortin Tam 2015-11-04 18:01:44 UTC 
With 3.18, file naming operations changed to a use a popover widget.

When creating a new folder, a dedicated dialog shows up to ask for its name.

However, when creating a file (right-click > New document > pick one of the templates), there is no such dialog. There should be, or at least the renaming popover should be activated automatically (but that's suboptimal; better just show a dialog like for folder creation).

In previous versions, the newly created file entered renaming mode automatically.
Comment 1 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2016-01-14 15:06:09 UTC 
And this is worse in iconview (bug #760623). It used to be that when you create a new file, Nautilus would automatically scroll to wherever it is located and enter renaming mode for it. Since the popover renaming implementation, this is no longer the case. You have to scroll to it and manually rename it.

"Templates created files should fire renaming popover"

There is a newer duplicate with some work-in-progress patches, so let's mark this one as the duplicate instead.
