Description

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

[severity:It's more difficult to complete my work]

  1. In a folder (xx) i have a class (yy).
  2. Copy (xx) to (zz)
  3. Rename (xx) to (kk)

Now Visual Studio asks if i want to refactor the class name to match the filename as well, I pick "Yes".

Now Visual Studio renames the classname (refactor) in both new new copy in folder (zz) and the copied source in folder (xx).

This is a bug!

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the rename refactoring logic in Roslyn to understand why renaming a file after copying triggers a rename in both the original and copied files. Look for how the IDE tracks file copies and associates them with the same rename operation.
