In krusader-2.0, when rename a file, I can switch to another application (Alt+Tab, etc), and switch back to krusader in 'rename mode'. That is, I can continue to edit the unfinished file name.

In krusader-2.4-beta2, renaming is canceled if focus to another application.

That was also the behavior of Krusader of Krusader 1.90 under Kubuntu 8.04, however, when trying to do the same there with the KDE 3 Dolphin: Dolphin stopped the edition and didn't allow the user to leave the filename still being edited. That is to say, with Dolphin the user wasn't able to edit the unfinished filename. So Krusader could work unlike Dolphin did.

The same happens using the latest git version of Krusader, at least in Kubuntu 16.04. Also there, using Dolphin, the editing is stopped when the user goes to another program.
