Comment 2 for bug 1845828

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Is it a local file you are trying to rename? or a file on a network share?

I opened thunar on this running 19.10 box (amd64), selected a file and pressed <F2> to have the "Rename" dialog box appear. It was left for more than 90 seconds and nothing changed, no error dialog about timeout.

I booted a different 19.10 test box [x86], opened thunar and selected a file and pressed <F2> to have the "Rename" dialog box appear. It again was left for 90+ seconds and nothing changed or no timeout dialog.

I booted the Xubuntu 19.10 daily (2019-09-26.1) opened thunar, created a odt file, selected it, pressed <F2> to rename and waited 3 minutes - no timeout errors occurred, it's still waiting now 10+ minutes since F2 was pressed (though I've had to stop screensaver now twice), and at the "Enter the new name:" dialog

I was unable to recreate this issue sorry. Not with local files.
