Bug Description

Description: Ubuntu 9.10
Release: 9.10

Nautilus 2.28.1

Press F2 to rename a file or folder, nautilus displays file or foldername as editable, highlight part of name to be changed, start entering replacement text, after 2 characters input nautilus will change to a different file loosing changes already made.

Hence, editing names of file or folders is not possible in the quoted version of nautilus in either list or symbol view. I find that a bit restrictive for an ubuntu desktop user.
