I installed version 1:3.18.5 of nautilus and it solves the problem : With this new version, when renaming a file (F2 on the file for example) a box pops up in which you can type the new name.
Unfortunately with this version you can't paste files from the upper right menu (the option has been removed), neither directly in the task bar with right click button... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ibus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1385292 Title: can't rename files in nautilus Status in ibus: Unknown Status in ibus package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: sometimes can't rename files with F2 button.
