    Can't rename "New Folder" or change folder name


    I create a new folder. It's highlighted in blue. I start renaming and only the first character is accepted. Then I right-click and choose rename and the highlighted character(s) are selected but when I attempt to enter a new name, again only one or two characters are accepted, the rename process shuts off, and I'm again left with a folder that I can't rename.

    What has happened and how can I fix it?

    :)
