Weird bug in Windows Vista

Well, there are some (ghm) bugs in Windows Vista. Most of those bugs are not harmful for your system, however there are some, that ready are. Here the little bug, I experienced today. Follow those steps to repro (don't do it on files you need)

  • Select multiple files
  • Right click on those files and choose rename and change the name of one of those files
  • Hit enter
    • Expected result: all selected files renamed (name (0),name (1), name (2) etc)
    • Actual result: all selected files renamed (name (0),name (1), name (2) etc)
  • Hit Ctrl-Z (Undo)
    • Expected result: all renamed files undo to it's original names
    • Actual result: all renamed files undo to it's original names
  • Hit Ctrl-Y (Redo)
    • Expected result: all undid files redo to it's new names
    • Actual result: all files, except the first one, disappeared.

They are really disappear, they did not removed or deleted. They just disappear.

Workaround: Don't redo multiple rename action.

 

Have a nice day
