"It's not a bug it's a feature", and it's from GTK (the toolkit).

What happens to you is that when you hit "enter" after entering the new
directory name, the focus in on the file list (where you just edited the
name) not in the filename entry.
And the file list has a built-in search-on-type feature that you trigger
by typing the "b".

So again, that's a GTK thing and I doubt we can reasonably do anything
about it.  If you still think this is a problem, you could try reporting
it to the GTK porject.

Cheers,
Colomban
