Bug Description
When you choose to show icons on the side of filenames in nautilus you get an annoying behaviour when trying to rename very long filnames. Nautilus starts to write at a point where the new name you're writing isn't visible.
I personnaly don't like long filenames, so I want to rename them properly when I get some e.g. from the internet... And it's one of those little annoyings when you don't see what you're writing...
This bug is reproducible:
1. In nautilus do: Edit»Preference
2. Name a folder long enough to let the parts of the name disappear from the visible area (it has to be a folder that remains in the first row.)
3. Rename it. You will notice that the cursor won't be visible, you don't get the focus on what you're writing
I would love to see the cursor, that's all...
