Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus
When performing an in place Rename without using the properties window for a file: the initial press of the delete key moves a file into Trash. Subsequent presses delete text of the name. Upon completing the rename, Nautilus sometimes informs the user that the file is no longer present and other times does not. Since the user intends to delete text and the moving of the file to Trash is unintentional and somewhat hidden, this can lead to data loss. If there were a way to disable use of the in place renaming and force use of the properties window through configuration, that would be a workaround. This was tested on Nautilus 2.28.1 .
