Nemo rename window dissapears

[Steve Roome]

Ubuntu 14.0.4 LTS

Nemo 1.8.4

Sometimes the Nemo file and folder rename function fails to display the rename window. The window is still present as typing in a new filename blind then return causes the file or folder to be renamed.

After some investigating this appears to be caused by the filename window being displayed out of the visible area on the screen. The attached screenshots show the window in the correct location, invisible and displayed in an incorrect but visible location. To create the screenshots the nemo window was scrolled using the scrollbar.

Updating to Nemo version 2.8.7 (still on 14.04) using the PPA webupd8team/nemo fixes this bug.
