Description

hrev56112, 64 bits (removed my two custom input filters ands restated input_server, just in case)

It seems impossible for me to edit the name of a file on a "system folder", even after "shift-click on rename" dialog.

Steps:

  • Open a Tracker window at /boot/system/var/log
  • Make a copy of syslog in that same directory (drag and drop on the same window).
  • Try to rename, via Tracker, syslog copy to, say, syslog-hrev56112

By selecting syslog copy and hitting either F2 or CTRL-E, a

"If you rename the system folder or its contents, you won't be able to boot Haiku!"

warning dialog appears. Said dialog instructs you to hold SHIFT while clicking "Rename" if you're really sure about what you're doing.

Doing so, instead of letting you edit the file name, ends with a "greyed out selection" of that file, but with no posibility of editing its name.

Just in case, I've tried changing focus related options (also disabling "accept first click") on the Input preflet without any change.

Also:

Navigating the said warning dialog with only the keyboard is mildly infuriating:

If you hold down SHIFT, "Rename" button becomes enabled, but pressing TAB to switch bewteen the buttons does nothing (again, while pressing SHIFT).

You have to first hit TAB to focus the "Cancel" button, and *then* hold down SHIFT and hit TAB to switch to the "Rename" button.
