Bug Description

When renaming files in column mode, pressing the left arrow--for instance to go to the beginning of the name or previous letter--causes Files to get out of "renaming mode" and go to the parent folder (ex., go back).

To rename, I have to select what I want to delete with the mouse, and override it.

The right behavior is IMHO to lock switching to other directories if you're renaming a file or folder.
