This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.

I noticed quite odd behavior of rename class and filename feature in Visual Studio 2019 (16.7preview1 as I wrote this).

Please examine following scenarios
1 - You can rename a file when renaming a class when you have that file open (that’s obvious and this works)
2 - You cannot rename a file when class and file you're renaming matches but you're in a different file (i.e. renaming class&file by renaming constructor usage) - error message is that file name does not mach.
3 - You can rename class it's file from other file only if the file you’re in has same name.

It seems like the actual mechanism of file renaming works but the method for disabling “rename file” checkbox if faulty - it checks for current open file instead checking for name match on the actual file the class is in.
