Rename constantly failing in MAUI Apps

[333fred]

Version Used: 17.5p1 public

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a new .NET MAUI App
2. Open a CS file, insert a method named M.
3. Attempt to rename the method to M2.

Expected Behavior:

Method is renamed

Actual Behavior:

It does not appear to work correctly with any combination of old/new rename UI or async/sync rename.

[333fred]

I will note that changing the name of a thing, and then invoking the rename thing quickfix, does generally seem to work. The other way never does in my MAUI projects.

@ryzngard does your fix also fix non-inline renaming?

[333fred]

Or am I mixing up the ui name with inline rename?

[ryzngard]

@333fred this fixes rename ui that comes from the command invocation, not the lightbulb (called rename tracking)

When can we expect to be able to use this?

[ryzngard]

@DiogoMartinh0 it should be in 17.5 Preview 2

[DiogoMartinh0]

Issue seems to still be present in Version 17.5.0 Preview 2.0

There's no way this could have made p2. I'm guessing that was a typo for p3 @ryzngard?

[DiogoMartinh0]

Merged 4 days before P2 release seemed too close to the release but...

[ryzngard]

Yes, definitely a typo. Preview 3 not 2.

As a work around you can still use rename tracking (rename the item and then use the lightbulb to finish the rename)

When is P3 expected to be released?
