When you select an object, and then click on it in the layer view to rename it, the focus is not moved to the text field, even though the name visually changes to indicate “Start renaming”.
This causes any rename actions you do after clicking on the name to actually be applied to the object. This can cause quite some havoc.
Version 1.2.1 (31)
Before renaming, moving the cursor with the arrow keys actually moves the object.
Immediately typing performs the key commands on the object instead.
Thanks for the report. I will add this to the list to address in an upcoming version.

Hi Bruno,
This should be fixed in 1.3.1.

Yes! Verified! Great work!
Related, but potentially worse bug;
Same happens, but in text fields in popups, such as setting the stroke widths per variant.
Ah that’ll be the same issue I bet. It’s to do with when the panel windows become first responder vs becoming key. Normally the windows don’t become key (ie accept key presses) unless the user clicks in a text field — if they did, they’d stop keypresses going to the canvas if all you did was interacted with a menu.
In the layers case, the issue was that the outline view (that shows the list of layers) is the thing that handled the editable text, and that didn’t have the automatic behaviour of making the window key.
For the popovers, I bet it’s to do with needing to make the panel window key before the popover can become key. Or something. I’ll have an investigate! Thanks for the report
