File jump after rename with El Capitan

Can someone from Apple please address this?

In the past if I was renaming a file/folder I could quickly click on the next filename/folder to rename it and the initial one would stay put and not move physically to alphabetical order as I initiated that second rename so quickly. Now like this person posts if I do this my cursor jumps back to the initially renamed file in its new physical location on the screen instead of allowing me to rename the second folder/file. I realize the renamed file/folder will move but I don't think the cursor should change locations as that first file is moving. Is this a glitch/bug??

I'd like to add that the "previous normal" behavior of the cursor is preserved if one tries to rename a file while in a Search Window.

So a temporary work around is to conduct a search in the folder you are working in that will show all the files then make the filename changes one by one. Awkward and an extra step but until Apple fixes the bug (if it is one) it is the only way to change a lot of filenames without the cursor jumping with the renamed file.

I have the same problem. This has become a real issue for me as well. I would love some help figuring this out.

Yes, indeed, this one is an INCREDIBLY frustrating "feature", so to say.

Making the trivial work cataloguing images for an online store a great pain in the *** all of a sudden😠

Way to go, Apple, thumbs up😟

I am experiencing the same issue. So frustrating. I am constantly renaming files and folders throughout the day for my job. I recently upgraded to El Capitan (OS X 10.11.3) from Mavericks (OS X 10.9.5) and found the new finder makes this task much harder when naming several files/folders in the same folder.

The way it used to be was I could select the file to be named, name it, then select the next file and name it. However, in El Capitan, when I try this the same file I just renamed becomes selected again and I then have to again select the next file. This adds extra steps and makes the simple task of renaming a series of files/folders more time consuming than it already is. This drastically reduces the efficiency of my workflow.

I submitted feedback to Apple regarding this issue and asked that the function of renaming files/folders be fixed to operate the way it used to.

You can submit the same issue to hopefully get their attention here...
