Renaming currently viewed folder in column view fails on mouse movement

[Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff]

Renaming currently viewed folder in column view does nothing unless you leave the mouse still and select the "rename" item with keyboard. See attached screencast.

I cannot reproduce this bug at the moment. Does it only occur in Miller view? List view shares most of the relevant code. Does it depend on anything else - e.g. zoom level, single-click/double-click mode?

The renaming should only be cancelled if you move the mouse into the sidebar or another slot.

I have now found a situation where this occurs in Miller View. If the column being renamed is narrower than the context menu so that the context menu overlays an adjacent slot, then when the menu collapses, the pointer ends up in another slot which causes the renaming to be cancelled.

I'll try to fix this.
