Had this issue too, however, I can no longer rename in inspector - unsure if this issue is unique to my copy of unity, but I cannot edit names or properties in the inspector or hierarchy bar?

Same problem. It began suddenly. Renaming at the top of the inspector works fine for me too.

Same version, same issue.
The game object in hierarchy view is deselected after I press SHIFT on my keyboard while renaming to capitalize the first letter of the new gameobject name.

Version: 2017.2.0f3
Will not allow renaming of gameobjects from the hierarchy View:
Right click > Rename : highlights the text but as soon as you type the first character of the new name it stops renaming and deselects.
Slow Double click: Same as above.
Rename at the top of the inspector works fine
