Yeah, in general: don't assume that a Mono bug in Windows is a bug in every platform. Windows support in Mono is worse than other platforms, because in Windows there is already .NET anyway which works for most people.

 From looking at the code, it appears that this is only the case on some
platforms (including Windows). The Linux implementation of
FileSystemWatcher uses inotify and appears to handle renaming of files.

Default implementation:

Linux (inotify) implementation:

    When you rename a file, in mono, FileSystemWatcher triggers a
    WatcherChangeTypes.Created and WatcherChangeTypes.Deleted event.____

    In .Net, it triggers a WatcherChangeTypes.Renamed event.____

    While it is conceivable in some cases you might prefer to have the
    Created & Deleted events, there's one really solid situation *not*
    to want that.If you are using FileSystemWatcher to keep some
    directory mirrored, following changes of some source directory, then
    Created & Deleted events mean you have to copy the file from source
    to destination and delete the old one.Whereas, a Renamed event can
    be replicated for much lower cost; all you need to do is perform the
    Rename operation on the destination.____
