** Description changed:

+ [ Impact ]
+ 
  During a file rename operation on the desktop, when using the cursor
  keys to move the cursor forward or backwards, the dialog closes. It's
  only possible to move the cursor by using the mouse.
+ 
+ Moving the cursor when renaming a file is very common, because a lot of
+ cases consist on adding or removing something at the end of the
+ filename, or change the extension, so nearly all users will suffer this
+ bug. It's true that they can  use the mouse, but for users used to the
+ keyboard, this is a very cumbersome bug.
+ 
+ [ Test Plan ]
+ 
+ In the desktop, right-click over an icon and select 'Rename...'. When
+ the rename popup appears, press the left or the right cursor key to move
+ the cursor.
+ 
+ If the bug is there, the popup will disappear and no renaming will
+ happen. If the bug has been fixed, the text cursor will move forward or
+ backwards, as expected.
+ 
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+ 
+ The patch mainly affects the hotkeys code, so a mistake in those changes
+ could disable the keyboard shortcuts for the desktop. In the worst case,
+ the desktop main program won't run, thus leaving the desktop without
+ icons. No data loss would happen, so just reverting to the previous
+ version of the code would be enough to fix the problem.
