Creating a script or folder from the right click menu throws "Rename not started" error
To reproduce:
1. Create a new project
2. Create a folder
3. Deselect the folder
4. Left click and then quickly right click the folder. Then create a c# script or new folder through the right click 'create' menu (it might take a few tries)
4. An error appears: "Rename not started (when creating new asset)
UnityEditor.ProjectWindowUtil:CreateScriptAsset(String, String)" The script is shown in the project, but it cannot be opened. If you were to look at the folder in the explorer, it would be empty
Does not reproduce with version 4.2.2f1

This still happens on a regular basis in Unity 5.0.2f1 on Windows 8.1 64bit
Indeed it primarily happens with creating folders, haven't seen it on files for a while.

Still happening in Unity 5. Also happens with folders, scripts, basically anything being created in the project tab by right-clicking. I mostly get it with folders.

It's certainly not urgent, since it usually works with the next try, but it is annoying. Happens with Win7 64bit, with unity being installed on another drive as windows, as well as the project folders.

I am getting this issue with Unity 4.5.1--this issue occurs whenever I create something from the Project panel: scripts, folders, shaders, etc.
