It appears when you right click and the context menu appears, you can not tap on the Rename item, you need to do a hard click, meaning, if you have a system with touch-pad, like a laptop, and you are use to tapping and not clicking on the touch-pad, it is actually 2 different functions on the Ubuntu OS, or at least Ubuntu treats it that way since i was able to `click` on the context menu item Rename and make it work versus the first time when i was just tapping on the context item menu Rename...this really sucks since you are used to tapping everywhere on the ui but all of the sudden you start finding out that tapping does not work everywhere.

Thank you for your bug report.So is the issue just the tapping not working as expected or is it really freezing, the description is a bit confusing

Hi Sebastien,

it freezes

at first i just logout

then i actually open process to kill the process

then i figure if i click on the location bar /home/Documents on the same
window, it allows me to get back control

but i have to tap a few times which is still annoying and this is just
to regain back control of the ui

i then went to settings touch-pad and disable the tap to click

i now have to push every time to execute an event in any part of the ui

but at least i don't run into that issue where it just freeze

i install ubuntu on a macbook pro 2012 13'
