1. Create some file like whatever.js ; open it in the editor page.
2. Use the sidebar to Actions > Rename "whatever.js" to something else
3. The editor input (hash) remains at whatever.js. At this point, if you save the editor, you'll get errors. If you reload the editor, you'll get an error message -- file not found.

In order to continue working you need to to set the editor to the new filename by clicking it in the LHS nav.

The sidebar should handle this case somehow and set the editor input to the new file.

If you rename the current file being edited, it is now smart enough to redirect you to the file under its new name. If you delete the file or an ancestor of it, you get an empty right-hand pane.
