How do you rename a recording in Voice Memos?

So I'm in Voice Memos. I select a recording. I hit cmd-VO-space to get to actions, and one of those actions is "edit title". So I pick that. Now what?

There's a text field that talks about searches and titles and such, but if I type in that, it just tries to search, and naturally doesn't find anything.

So how do I rename a recording?

I just tested this, and for me, I didn't get any feedback when typing a new name after selecting the "Edit title" action, suggesting that a text field was present and in focus after selecting the action, but not visible to VoiceOver. To rename a recording, I pressed the Delete key several times to ensure that the existing text had been cleared, typed my new name, and pressed Return. I got no VoiceOver feedback during this process, however, the recording was subsequently identified by the new name afterword, suggesting that what I did worked.

I should think about submitting that as a bug I guess. Just [email protected]?
