Occasionally I lose the ability to rename files and folders in Nautilus
in Trisquel 7 Release Candidate. I can create a new folder (or do any
action that creates a new folder such as grouping files/folders
together) or rename something I've got file system rights to rename. But
when I type in a new name the new name never appears in the highlighted
box where the new text is supposed to go.
I can press Escape and get out of renaming mode, which is odd, but
alphanumeric keys don't work in renaming mode. I can search for
something by typing a few keystrokes whilst not renaming anything. If I
create a new folder and Escape out (to cancel the rename) I'm left with
a folder called "Untitled Folder".
I'm trying this on a Trisquel 7 release candidate system with all
updates applied as of the time/date stamp on this post.
I can work around this by killing Nautilus and restarting it. Then
Nautilus works normally for a while.
I don't yet have a way to reliably make Nautilus misbehave.
Can anyone confirm seeing this behavior in Nautilus?
