Potential important bug in Caja

(I added the following comment to the bug report, maybe someone here can perform a few tests to see if the behaviour matches.)

I’ve published a video showcasing the issue (https://youtu.be/cgJ6gJzgZ3A). Sorry, it’s not very explicative as I did it quickly with OBS, so here is a bit of context:

  • I have Caja opened in a dir which has just enough files to fill its window
  • at first, I can rename a file, two lines are ok, can still rename it
  • when the name is long enough (3 lines) so that a scrollbar appears, I can no longer rename it: at about 00:23, when I select the file, I’m repeatedly pressing F2 but it has no effect
  • if I then resize the window so that the scrollbar disappears, I can rename the file again
  • if I resize it again as it was just before, can’t rename the file
  • but if I resize it again to make it smaller (so, there is still a scrollbar), I can rename it

From what I can guess, it seems that the issue happens when the last row of files shown in the window (when they’re bigger than the visible zone) has a specific amount of their name cut. It’s really weird.
