I have experienced this too. Furthermore, the problem window exhibited another bug. After failing to rename the new folders, I moved up a few directories and attempted to make a new folder in Home. The new folder appeared in the same location as the earlier problem (2 levels deeper in directory tree).
After closing the window, I was unable to reproduce this effect. -- Nautilus wouldn't let me rename a folder https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/177780 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
