Comment 36 for bug 48671

Can I ask developers, what are the plans for this feature? Will it be implemented in Karmic? Will there be an option to disable it? By default, turned on or off?

Many people, as Textureglitch noticed, click the file twice to make sure it's selected because they know about focus issues in Windows (e.g. one cannot scroll content in window which is inactive). If they got into rename mode by accident and want to get out, the natural way for them is to click on some empty area in the same window. In list view in Nautilus it's impossible, because often there is NO empty area (and Vista has some free space at sides of the list).
One more question: if one want to rename file by clicking twice, after what time he should click the second time? If he clicks too fast, he will open the file.

Considering all the above, I think this feature, if it is to be implemented, should be turned OFF by default.

@granadajose: Yeah, it's a standard, but is it really useful?
