Is the Rename feature broken for anyone else?
I've encountered at least two issues with the Rename feature:
- When I rename a variable, the updated name only sticks for the currently selected instance. As soon as I press Enter, the variable reverts to its original name everywhere else. I have to click elsewhere in order for the renaming to go through.
- PyCharm would try to rename all variables with the same name across the entire project and not just in the current scope.
Both issues occurred in version 2025.2.5 for me. Upgrading to 2025.3.3 seems to have resolved the second issue, but the first one remains. Anyone else having the same problems?
I'm using PyCharm 2025.3.3 on Windows 11 and have no plug-ins installed (except the default ones) besides Classic UI.
I posted this on the official PyCharm forum as well, but a developer said he couldn't reproduce my issue.
