Bug Description

PcManFm file renaming is problematic. I use Detailed List view and Openbox 'Raise windows when mouse pointer moves over them' setting although I am not sure if the latter is part of the problem.

If I try to rename or delete a file by right-clicking file to open context menu, sometimes when clicking rename or delete, it selects a different file to rename. Not sure if related to Openbox setting above but it did not do this in earlier PcManFm versions (non-lxqt) using the same setting.

This is very problematic if it deletes the wrong file and annoying if you have to try 2-3 times to rename a file.

2) Also, the pop-up asking you if you want to copy or move a file is unnecessary and very annoying. Pls. disable or have an option in settings to disable it. FM worked perfectly before that.

3) Middle-click to open bookmark in new tab is great BUT should move focus/open on new tab, not stay on old tab since the purpose of opening a bookmark is to access the files in this new tab.

The LXQT version of file manager is not currently an improvement.

Thanks.
