This is on Ubuntu 20.10 Groovy Gorilla.
Problem1:
If I open Files (the Nautilus equivalent) and select a file and press F2 or right click and select "rename", I'm given the option of renaming the file. If the filename is someFile.txt, the "someFile" portion is highlighted automatically, so when I start renaming it, the ".txt" portion remains unaffected. This is the normal and expected behaviour.
However, when I do the same thing directly on the Desktop for any file on the Desktop, the entire "someName.txt" gets highlighted, and the full name isn't even shown at first glance.
The attachments show details.
Problem2:
In Files preferences > Behaviour > Open Action, if I select "Single click to open items", it works fine everywhere except for files on the Desktop, where I have to double click a file to open it.
So the bug here is that there seems to be some inconsistency in the behaviour of files on the Desktop vs. the files that are opened in the Files window.
If any of the Desktop files are opened in Files, it works fine. The problem happens only when performing these actions directly on files that are on the Desktop.
