Odd behavior - file is selected for rename intermittently
How to reproduce:
1. Press "Enter" on a folder.
2. Go back up one level by double-clicking ".."
3. Press "Enter" on the same folder.
4. Click a file.
Do the above in rapid succession, the file rename text box with selected filename and blinking cursor appears.
The behavior is if I had clicked on a file for too long which of course initiates the rename text box.
The problem is intermittent but I have noticed it for years. I though maybe AutoHotKey was causing it but it still occurs when disabled.
I'd like to know if anyone can reproduce this...

Did some more testing and have updated the procedure to reproduce:
1. Create a folder called "test".
2. In this folder, create four zero length text files, call them test1.txt, test2.txt, test3.txt, test4.txt.
3. Press "Enter" on the folder.
4. Go back up one level by double-clicking ".."
5. Press "Enter" on the same folder.
6. Click the "test3.txt".
7. Confirm that the rename text box is activated.
This doesn't happen with any of the other files, only test3.txt (the third one in the list).
This is weird.

The more I play around with this, the more scenarios I discover where this is happening. The latest is: if I click on a folder tab that is already active and then quickly (vary the delay time to reproduce the effect) click on a file that has the dotted box around it, the rename text box is activated.
Perhaps Mr. Ghisler could offer an opinion...

Hmm, I cannot reproduce this with neither 32bit nor 64 bit TC

I will try, but I cannot promise anything - there are just too many possibilities.

I don't believe for the actual TC on my fast PC.OUrm7Vo2 wrote:I continue to get in trouble by this. Inadvertent double-clicks. This is a bug I believe!
Try to change double-click speed in your mouse settings.
