I also use Ubuntu and have noticed that the open dialog is sometimes
difficult to deal with. I have to double-click very quickly to drill
down and have also noticed the "rename" thing you mentioned. I've
taken to using the arrow and enter keys. That may be a Java thing
because I've seen it in SoapUI too.

On the subject of Oxygen+Ubuntu quirks, you inspired me to mention
something in case others have noticed it or knows something similar:

For several months now (in 11.10 and 12.04), I've frequently (but not
always) had Oxygen's menus stop working when using the mouse/touchpad.
I can still use accelerators (e.g. "ALT+f, o" to open a file), but
can't use the mouse. A side-effect of being forced to use accelerators
is that I'm becoming faster (guess that's why they're called
accelerators). The downside is that when this happens, the
menu-buttons also do not respond to the mouse. I have to mouse, then
use arrow keys, then hit enter (and even that doesn't always work).
