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.
