good news (well, not really): i encountered a bug
bad news: i have failed in reproducing it so i'll just describe the situation
bug: at one point (after hours of normal use) i tried to rename a file (inplace), but neither Enter nor Esc key would close the edit box. clicking outside it closes the box, canceling the rename; after that, it was the same situation with any file i tried, until restarting commander (new instance worked fine).
the original file had no extension and was not locked (created two seconds before that by Shift+F5). new name was not taken. healthy fat32 partition, xppro+sp1, tc7b3; RenameSelOnlyName is on; not inside archive; only us characters used; nothing checked on options->refresh page...
that was the best i could do. my only guess is that it could have something to do with tc's new focus taking/releasing policy (which i do not like at all).
another bug with inplace rename

This can happen when you open a file with ENTER while the associated program is already running. Then DDE (dynamic data exchange) is used to pass the file name to the program. There are a few programs which do not terminate the DDE connection correctly, so ShellExecuteEx hangs indefinitely in a loop. This causes TAB, ENTER in rename and other functions to fail...
