--- Comment #13 from S. Christian Collins <[email protected]> --- I have found two ways to 100% reproduce this bug: --- Method #1: 1. Click on a file in Dolphin, then click it again to enter the inline filename editing mode. This works most reliably from "Compact" or "Details" file view. "Icons" view sometimes requires an extra click or two to enter filename editing mode. 2. Even though you are already in filename editing mode, press F2 on your keyboard. 3. Rename the file and hit Enter. ACTUAL RESULT: The file fails to rename. EXPECTED RESULT: The file should now have the new name. --- Method #2: 1. Click on a file in Dolphin. 2. Press F2 on your keyboard twice. 3. Rename the file and hit Enter. ACTUAL RESULT: The file fails to rename. EXPECTED RESULT: The file should now have the new name. --- I figured this out while editing a folder containing hundreds of PDF files, and the rename failures usually seemed to happen when I switched back to Dolphin from another application. I always use F2 on my keyboard to rename a file, but when activating Dolphin by clicking on an already-selected file, it would very briefly enter filename editing mode just before my swift F2 keypress was registered, thus triggering the bug. Perhaps there may be additional ways to trigger the bug as others here have reported, but I'm pretty sure this is what was happening in my case, and why the failures seemed to be so random. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
