On screen you can see what is happenning when pressing F2 on DefaultLitSpriteMaterial.

In addition it could crash whole UE4 editor (sometimes happens to me when I don’t make sense this bug happenning).

** Editor Version 4.5+ **

Hi Yorie,

I’ve tried to reproduce your issue with the following steps:

  1. Open Level In UE4.5.1

  2. Created A material and a material instance to be renamed:

  3. Select First Material and press F2 to highlight name F2_2

  4. Rename first material (material remains highlighted) F2_3

  5. Use arrow key to navigate to next Material (instance) F2_4

  6. Press F2 to hightlight and rename F2_5

I was unable to reproduce your issue, however, if I missed a step, please advise.

Seems I did the mistake. Bug appears only when cancelling rename by pressing F2. Sorry for spending your time.

So, try to reproduce it with next steps (almost similar you did):

  1. Create A material and a material instance to be renamed
  2. Select First Material and press F2 to highlight name F2_2
  3. Press the Esc key to cancel renaming
  4. Use arrow key to navigate to next Material (instance) F2_4
  5. Press F2 to hightlight and rename F2_5

Thanks.
