Version: (using KDE 4.2.2) OS: Linux Installed from: SuSE RPMs After logging in KDE renaming files in the desktop folder seems to work. But after changint the desktop folder (copying files into in, etc.) it starts to behave strangely. When I right-click a file and then choose to rename the file, the renaming text field appears in the top left corner of the desktop folder applet instead of below the icon of the file. See the attached image. In addition to this, when plasma widgets are unlocked, file renaming absolutely doesn't work in the desktop folder!!!

I can confirm this problem with slightly different symptoms on KDE 4.2.4 on Kubuntu 9.04 (x86). The problem seems to be that folder view shows the renaming text field where the file icon is *before* scrolling the view. I've attached a snapshot that I hope would explain it better. In the picture, notice that if the folder view were taller, the file being renamed would appear just over the red circle. Anyways, wouldn't it be better if folder view used a pop up window to ask for the new name as Dolphin does?
Bug still present on KDE 4.3 Beta2 (4.2.90) on Kubuntu. I think this bug is nasty enough to deserve some attention before KDE 4.3 is released...
...and still present on KDE 4.3 RC 2 (4.2.96) on Kubuntu.
Still present on KDE 4.3 RC3 (4.2.98) on Kubuntu.
