TAB key navigates next row, instead of next file while renaming
When renaming a file, one presses TAB to goto the next file. Normally this would advance to the file to the right, and eventually wrap around to the next line so that all filenames could be accessed in order. Currently it advances to the file below, i.e. in the next row. This makes TAB-bing effectively useless in a grid view of files.

This issue is fixed, however SHIFT-TAB does the same bug, going to the previous row rather than the previous file.
(A related issue as well (I will make a new post): when the next file is selected (still renaming), the preview window goes blank. I don't remember if it was updating previously.)
