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, Explorer automatically selects the whole name after about a second. This is really annoying since it removes the entire name if you're typing when this happens.

I may have a workaround - try putting a space at the end of the file name. It seems to let me edit it if there is a space at the end. Let me know if this works for you. Murray

Same bug in Windows 11 as of April 2023. I saw this to a lesser extent in Windows 10 too. Different laptop, different OS. Come on MS. Acknowledge it. However in my case, after this bug occurs a few times, the problem fixes itself.

Same here on a spanking new Windows 11 PC. It is definitely related to backup software. I have encountered the same with (individually) each of Google Drive, Dropbox, Synology Drive, and ONEDRIVE! But all Microsoft official solutions blame all other software but their own, while ignoring that this is a Windows problem and has been for over 10 years! I'm beginning to understand why so many of my tech friends have jumped over to Linux.
