With the desired file highlighted I hit F2 (or Shift-F6) and then that file's
whole filename (including the extension) gets selected.

To that point I cannot move the cursor to a desired position of this selection
by the use of: arrow keys, ctrl + arrow keys, home, end.

If however I will try to type something the whole filename will get replaced
with what I've typed.

This could have been a temporary solution but since backspace (or ESC)
won't work aking a mistake makes me to have to restart all over again.

I can and likewise I can also place the cursor within the filename selection
that way but having to use mouse (or trackpad) makes me way slower.

Not quite sure, but it works flawlessly in my desktop, so I cant tell for
my netbook (an ASUS 1000HE) which is where I'm now facing these troubles.

Lastly here is the output produced when starting gnome-commander from CLI:

-------- Start of output --------
