Lets say changing folder name or working with tree note taker doesn't function
this way. This feels to me like GUI relic of the past..

 I'm always getting a kind of 1998 Linux/macOS feeling seeing a rename dialog
(but not totally sure.. pretty sure Windows 95 didn't do it this way). Windows
3.1 might have rename dialog.. at least wouldn't be surprised :P

So obviously priority being low; functional. But this makes LibreOffice feel
dated. Yes, application is old.. but keeping this around?

FWIW: not sure if the dialog being more 'logical' choice on LOOL/COOL side. 

I admit, from the technical side no issue (as comment 1). From
aesthetical/perceptional/ user experience side.. I doubt this being desirable..
As said if have noticed this kind of behavior in long long time.

There should even be a generation who simply can't explain it :P
