Hey so uhh i cant exactly rename anything when i right click it on scene/global objects tab. I thought it was just my device at first, but when i logged on a separate computer, it still wouldnt work. I can still name it with f2 but the actual manual process of right clicking and pressing rename doesnt work.
Hi Enenra, I just checked, the rename is working for me in 5.6.261 on Windows. What version are you using?
I canāt rename objects on the mobile version. Long pressing and then selecting rename does nothing plus the popup menu sometimes creates a phantom object. Itās difficult to impossible to initiate a long press without also triggering a drag event. So, it looks like the drag event starts but doesnāt get canceled. IDK if this is related. It could be causing the line to loose focus. Iām going to add a post about the phantom icons.
EnenraDev, can you edit the title to something more accurate, like āCanāt Rename Objectsā?
Thanks for reporting this issue.
It should be fixed in the next GDevelop release

Attempting to drag objects on the object list now frequently does nothing. Itās very random and very frustrating.
On mobile web? desktop app?
Mobile. Android phone. Chrome browser.
I tested it in the Samsung browser. Same issue.
I added more objects. There seems to be an issue with deciding the users intentions between dragging (scrolling) the object list and the individual object. Add in the popup menu timing and it becomes even more difficult.
I never had the issue before. I know thereās a difficult balance in timing. I canāt seem to find a method that works. Before it just worked.
Trying to manage object names on mobile can definitely be a bit finicky compared to the desktop version, so itās good to know thereās a workaround or a specific way to trigger the rename.
I believe there was always an issue with deciding the userās intention between scrolling & dragging the object yes.
The fix introduced an additional issue with the long-press with a 100ms delay.
Pushing a fix to make it better:
