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?
