I guess the topic name isn't really explanatory, so here's the deal:
1) Pick a file or directory, press F2 (or invoke any other text input that remembers recent inputs)
2) (optional) Start editing the name, write something, delete something else...
3) Press a down arrow (or PageDown accidentally when trying to press End ) - the last used entry appears
4) Try to get back the original name of file (or semi-edited name) by pressing Up.
5) Cry as nothing happens.
Could those things remember also the original line that we escape from at the first time we press Down?
Text inputs with history - preserve the current name
Re: Text inputs with history - preserve the current name
Unfortunately, this is a problem throughout the whole Windows UI. Maybe the inputs could be hacked into remembering the original value in the editing history (Ctrl+Z then would help ).
