El Capitan TextEdit bug: renaming file on desktop moves the file’s icon

by

I upgraded my OSX from 10.8.6 to El Capitan (10.11.5) and since then I’m having this bug:

modify and save a text file located on Desktop using TextEdit app –> Sometimes the file icon is moved to a different position on the desktop.
(file name “test.rtf” first changes to “test.rtf.****” and then back to “test.rtf”. It looks like file modification causes a temporary file to be created and then renamed.

enter image description here

This seems to be due to a TextEdit bug. Sometimes TextEdit writes temporary files when saving.

Is there a solution?

Answer

  1. In order to rename the selected file/folder – Press Return (or Enter).
    This is valid to desktops or any other finder window.
    F2 is for Windows OS.

  2. Not sure what are you trying to do here. Please elaborate?
