No, pressing F2 does not fix the issue. All forms of rename through Caja
are broken in this state.

After breaking it with the method shown in the video in my previous post any of 
the following fixes it:
- add a single file to the directory so another line of files starts
- remove enough files so the vertical scrollbar disappears
- increase the window height so the scrollbar disappears
- decrease the window height some undetermined value (see attachment)

The attached video shows me pressing F2 every time the window height is changed 
and you can clearly see that F2 triggers "something" (scrollbar sometimes 
jumps) even when the rename input doesn't appear and if I decrease the height 
enough it suddenly starts working.
Again increasing the height breaks it at the same position it started working.

Note that rename is broken for ALL files in the directory, not just the
bottom row.

My only guess is that the content is just enough to trigger a vertical
scrollbar and in this state drawing the rename input field triggers some
kind of resize that undoes the input.
