Greetings.

Anyone else encountered this:

I select an directory entry, a file or directory, with one click and press=
=20
=462 to rename it. I edit the name and hit enter.


Result

=46ilename is returned to the old state. The rename basically does not=20
happen. No error message in GUI. Did not check with starting Dolphin from=20
console yet.

Today I tried again three times and it did not work.

What always works is opening the "Properties" window and change the name=20
there.


Expected Result

Rename goes through all the time.

Anyone else experiencing this odd behavior?

I did not yet find a pattern to reproduce it. Often rename with F2 just=20
works, sometimes it does not with the symptoms described above.

Best,

Hi,

=46or me F2 in Dolphin (25.12.1) on Testing works as expected...
