Public bug reported: This issue has started appearing on Ubuntu MATE 18.04 (upgraded from 17.10), never occurred on previous versions.
Sometimes, when I want to rename a file with Caja, nothing happens: pressing F2 does nothing, can't select the Rename option in the menu. The "Rename files" option (plugin that allows for batch renaming) works, though. Renaming from the terminal works too. It seems to happen randomly on files that have nothing special in their names. When it does, I can move the file elsewhere, rename it, then put it back in its original folder, where it will be renamable again. It can also happen that I rename a file, then can't rename it again until I move it elsewhere. It doesn't seem to be a permissions issue as they're in folders that belong to me. I can't find a pattern that would trigger specific files, it seems completely random. ** Affects: caja (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1771768 Title: Can't rename files on a random basis (18.04) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/caja/+bug/1771768/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
