For years I am using a F-key to perform a regex rename. Works fine.
Recently (12.17.3 ? 12.17.2 ?) I noticed the cursor jumps to 'Mode'-button in the rename panel, i.e. it selects the mode in this case being 'Regular Expressions'.
Previously I could start typing the new name in the [New] box straightaway.
Likely be there is a good reason for this behaviour. If not, would it be possible to change it back?
