(Linux) Inline renaming fromn the file list

[mykurtaccount]

Arch Linux - KDE4.14, XNVIEWMP 0.69 x64

When trying to rename a folder (F2) from the file list if you can't see the bit you want to change it will not scroll to it. You have to make sure you can see the bit you want to change before you try a rename

Perhaps is better to you to use the Rename dialog:

Tools | Settings | General | File Operations:

Check the "Use dialog to rename file/folder"
