Windows 10: Windows 11, folder renaming problem.

When I click the More Options link then select Rename, the highlighted folder to be renamed jumps to another folder and I am unable to rename the desired folder. If I click on the folder a level above the folder I want to rename, and display the folder in the right pane, I am able to rename it. This is insane as unwittingly, some folders get the wrong name. Is this a Windows 11 bug?
