It looks like this problem goes back to at least 2016! Has anyone found the problem?
In my case this is a system-wide issue which doesn’t happen if I choose any new location other than where the file was opened/created OR I create a new user account. Is there some file/setting that is the problem?
I’m hoping someone has found what the difference is between the “clean” user account and the normal user account.

Rename in the title bar highlight the name without the file extension highlighted.
When you have entered your new title place the cursor after the extension and then hit enter.
The change will be saved.
When you open a file you see the title at the top of the window,
move the cursor over the title at the top of the window
and you will see a downward pointing arrow which when clicked
on will allow you to change the files title. The destination of the file
can be altered to by selecting one of the predetermined folder/ locations
from the dropdown menu next to Where:, or if you click on Other…
you will get the full folder navigation pane.
Thx for your reply. I know how to rename a file using the title bar but the problem is that after naming/renaming them hitting enter the name change doesn’t stick; it reverts to untitled or the name it HD previously. Any ideas?
My bad then not them and had not HD. Sorry
Document won’t rename from title bar
