Describe the bug

Rename fails when the filename is longer than the box for the rename option, instead removing only the amount of text which fits in the rename box and replacing it with the contents of the rename box. See example.

Minimal reproducer

Replication Steps

Create a file named, e.g.

McPrairieDog_Herbie_Student_Evaluation_of_Teaching_(SET)_-_DIRT_112_-_Formation_and_maintenance_of_burrows_[A00]_(McPrairieDog_Herbie_n)_-_WI25.pdf

Now, open the containing folder in Yazi and trigger rename using r:

This pops up a rename dialog, which starts at 'urrows', but does not allow further scrollback. Now, using that dialog, delete everything and enter:

intro_to_burrows_w25.pdf

Expected Behavior

The file is now named intro_to_burrows_w25.pdf

Observed Behavior

The file is now named:
McPrairieDog_Herbie_Student_Evaluation_of_Teaching_(SET)_-_DIRT_112_-_Formation_and_maintenance_of_intro_to_burrows_w25.pdf

Anything else?

No response

Checklist

  • I tried the latest nightly build, and the issue is still reproducible
  • I updated the debug information (yazi --debug) input box to the nightly that I tried
  • I can reproduce it after disabling all custom configs/plugins (mv ~/.config/yazi ~/.config/yazi-backup)
