folder renaming selects only the part before the last dot in list view

[Felix Haller]

Hi,

i'm using Nautilus on Ubuntu Oneiric.

When renaming a folder the renaming feature behaves exactly like the renaming feature for files. It selects all letters before the last dot and only when you press the F2 button once again, the complete foldername will be selected.

I think this behavior isn't correct for folder-renaming because there are no "folder-extensions" like the "file-extensions" that have to be minded. Therefore it would be better, to select the whole foldername.

Thanks in advance

Felix

Thank you for your bug report, I can't confirm that, in what directory and view type does it happen?

[Felix Haller (felixhaller)]

ohh I see it happens only in list-view. In compact and icon view all is right.

To reproduce

* open nautilus
* switch to list view
* create folder
* name it "test.folder"
* select it and press F2 or select "rename" from the right click menu
* only "test" will be selected
* switch to another view (compact, icon)
* select the folder and press F2 or select "rename" from the right click menu
* "test.folder" will be selected
