[NFBCS] Strange Issue with Desktop Icon Rename

[Curtis Chong]

Hello:

Do not press Enter after naming the new object. Just navigate back to the Desktop and you will see it there without the original object being altered.

Alternatively, instead of manipulating directly from the Desktop, open the Run dialog with WINDOWS+R, type desktop, and press Enter. This brings up your Desktop in File Explorer, and the behavior will be as you would expect while in File Explorer.

Cordially,

Curtis Chong

Subject: [NFBCS] Strange Issue with Desktop Icon Rename

Hello,

I've ran into an issue and wondering if anyone knows a workaround.  It happens on both Windows 10 and 11, and I don't think it's related to JAWS.  Here is how to reproduce it:

1. Select any icon on the desktop using the arrow keys and make note of what type it is (link, text file, folder, etc)

2. Once it has focus, press control+space to deselect it

3. Press shift+F10 then create a new object that is the same type as the one you deselected

4. Type a name for the new object and press enter

5. Observe your new icon has the name you gave it, but also now the deselected icon has been renamed with (2) or similar appended to it

This has tripped me up several times as I would go looking for things to find them no longer there and knew I didn't delete them.  Finally I realized they were just getting renamed.

Brian
