Files: Once a file/folder is selected, I am not able to open a file or folder through double-click

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Once a file/folder is selected, I am not able to open a file or folder through double-click because it let me rename this file/folder.

Describe the solution you'd like
Once a file/folder is selected and you click on it again, files uwp should wait whether I want to make a double click on that file/folder or click just one time and not instantly let me rename the file/folder.

Describe alternatives you've considered
So a step by step guide would be:

1. select a file/folder
   a. double click on that selected file/folder to open it or
   b. click one time that selected file/folder to rename the file

Currently it always starts the renaming and doesn't check if the user wanted to do a double click.

Additional context
I am on v0.6.5

BTW: If I select a file, click anywhere else to deselect it and click on this file again to select it, the renaming process starts. (shouldn't start the renaming process but just select the file)

This is reproducable and I'm planning on including this in our immediate v0.6.6 release.

"There's a couple bugs around inline renaming

• Can't open something if it's already selected (tries to rename)
• Select, deselect, and select the same thing again. It tries to rename instead of selecting it.
• Doesn't work for icon layout"

This needs to be fixed. It destroys the workflow when using Files UWP. Alternatively, what about adding a setting to toggle this off/on?

[yaichenbaum]

I agree, I am pretty sure this comes down to a WinUI issue and in fact they are working on a new DataGrid control but we should definitely try to find a workaround.
Once we finish modularizing settings then it should be fairly easy to add an option to turn this off until we do find a workaround.

@R3voA3 This is a bug with the Toolkit DataGrid control we're using. I cannot find a way to fix it. Sorry, I'm looking into other solutions

Is it possible to add a delay or something like that to the rename function when clicking?, about 500 milliseconds maybe, so it gives you enough time to double click

This issue should be resolved with #2142.
