Comment 29 for bug 48671

We've long ago passed the point for discussing whether or not this is a good feature. Click to rename is an extremely common user behavior enabled in all other major desktop operating systems, and our users are frustrated when Ubuntu does not accommodate their learned behaviors.

I really like Cody's suggestion of requiring a click on the label to enter rename mode. I just tried this is icon, list, and compact views and it works beautifully, although I am not sure if users will expect or discover this.

I am targeting this for six weeks into the hundredpapercuts project so there will be time for the Design team to discuss and test this with actual users.
