Public bug reported:

1. Create a file 'Example' in any folder
2. Select it
3. Press F2 to allow changing its name
4. Replace by some invalid name such as "Example/Foo" (which contains a bar "/")
5. Confirm by pressing ENTER

There will be this warning (in Portuguese):
----
Não foi possível renomear o item.
Desculpe, não foi possível renomear "Example" para "Example/Foo": Barras não 
são permitidas nos nomes dos arquivos
----
and the new text "Example/Foo" will be gone.

It would be better if after the warning is closed, nautilus would focus
on the field for renaming the file, and not delete the new name so the
user can easily fix the invalid character (e.g. replace "/" by "-").
This is particularly important if the new name chosen by the user is
long, because in that case it would not be fun having to type it again.
