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.
