When I doubleclick a file to rename it, the file name is selected, but not the extension. It drives me crazy. It's an incredible
loss of time, cause I have then to select the entire file+extension again. Is it possible to deactivate this stupid behaviour
somehow?
 
Don't know of any way to change that. That's one of the improvements I
personally like. The majority of time that people rename a file, they're
not interested in changing the extension.

Best way to work with this new behavior is to press <Shift>+<End> when the
filename is selected -- this will include the extension in the text
selection.
