At least I can't confirm this. The new name is saved fine when I close my aKregator just after the change...

I can confirm this for beta7, it's fixed in CVS.

SVN commit 429576 by osterfeld:

fix in-place renaming by connecting to both QListView::itemRenamed(QLI*, col, QString) and KListView::itemRenamed(QLI*, QString, col) 
signals

The QListView version works for folders and feeds, the KListView version works for Tag nodes. super strange
