Windows explorer bug: renaming files highlights file name while editing, removing entire name
This has been a problem for several years with Windows explorer. If you work decently fast editing a file name, either by clicking on it or pressing F2, and then start typing immediately, Explore...
Had to add to this as this has been the bain of my working life as rename copious file names and I have to watch this so carefully as it wipes out the whole file name so often if you are just too quick.
However, I have found a solution... unfortunatley outside Windows Explorer... if you actually open your OneDrive or SharePoint in a browser and change the file names there, then this does not occur!!!
Guess I will just have to use a browser rather than Explorer when doing this... shouldn't have to, but through Explorer is just too time consuming.
