Public bug reported:
- What is expected:
After you create a file from context menu (right-click -> New Document
-> New XXX file), its name should be focused and ready to be edited - so
that it's possible to rename it right away.
- What is actually happening:
After you create a file, you have to manually invoke its context menu
and select "Rename".
- Why?
This feature (one click create-and-rename folders and files) exists in
most OS-es (including older Ubuntu versions) and file managers
(including console ones). This is basic functionality that you would
expect from a file manager.
Description: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Release: 20.04

Installed: 1:3.36.2-0ubuntu1
Candidate: 1:3.36.2-0ubuntu1
