I rename a lot of files daily in Thunar and there is something not quite right with it in this updated version for 13.04.
After pressing enter to rename the file, a random file in the Thunar pane is set active. The active selection seems to dart all over the place when files are being renamed.
This bug was also present in the dev versions of Thunar I was experimenting with in 12.10 but seems to be present still. Surely others have noticed this odd behaviour too?

I think the behaviour can be replicated fairly easily.
Make a folder with 6 or 7 text files in it.
Mouse click the bottom one to select it then use arrow keys to move up to the top one.
Then right click with the mouse over the bottom one and rename it.
When enter is pressed you end up with a strange situation where the renamed file is selected as is the one at the top selected with keys.
If you go to press the up key to move up from the just renamed file, the actual "currently selected" one turns out to not be the renamed one but the arrow key selected one.
