Renaming folder in Entourage so annoying

[kevs1]

This drives me crazy. you click enter on a folder and nothing happens. It wont let cursor enter. Is this correct?

So you mouse click on folder name, and for second, the whole app does this bounce up and down shake.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about? thanks.

To rename a folder in Entourage, like most of the rest of the OS, click once
to highlight it and a second time to edit the name. You need to pause
briefly so that you're not double-clicking.

In OS, using return key renames.
I don't see this with Entourage, am I wrong?
and the clicking seem really strang, the feel of it in Entourage

Return key does not work. It opens a new main window with that folder
showing. The key labeled "enter" does work.

The enter key will work, but only with folders that can be renamed - some,
like inbox, outbox, junk etc, are fixed and can't be deleted or renamed.

Thanks Barry!

The enter works! great.

Of course is the key way on far right, wonder why the return does not work.
