Description

Version Used:

Version 16.9.0 Preview 3.0 [30730.13.main]

Steps to Reproduce:

Use rename refactoring to rename a type declaration that appears in a file whose name matches the type name. Inline rename renames the file the type is declared in to match the new name. The refactoring does not.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the rename refactoring logic in the Roslyn codebase to understand why file rename is not triggered when renaming a type that matches the file name. Look for the part that handles file renames and check for missing conditions or flags.
