[Pkg-lxde-maintainers] Bug#961559: pcmanfm: Rename folder in left side pane directory tree crashes pcmanfm

[Réal Carbonneau]

Yes, in both Debian 10 and 11, changing the setting from "Close tab
containing removable medium" to "Change folder in the tab to Home
Folder" does not close the window, but instead, ejects the user back to
the Home Folder.

However, this behaviour is still incorrect and unacceptable for many
reasons:
1) This occurs on any folder, regardless if it is on a removable media
or not.
2) The user may be deep in the directory tree and it will frustrate the
user to either close the window or send the user back to the Home
folder after a simple rename.
3) The user may right-click > rename a folder in the left "Directory
Tree" pane without actually navigating to the contents of the folder,
so again, there is no reason to eject the user from the current
context.
4) The F2 key does not work for a rename on the left "Directory Tree"
pane, so maybe the intent was not to permit the rename.  


Expected behaviour: 

a) Either rename should work in the left "Directory Tree" pane without
changing the user's navigation location (NO ejectecting out NOR to the
Home).  AND make F2 also rename

OR

b) Completely remove the possibility to rename a folder in the left
"Directory Tree" pane.
