It's definitely not an important issue, but something noisy for me. Since I upgraded to VMware Fusion 8.5, I can't rename shared folders from within Fusion's Settings (don't know if there's another way). If I click on the name, I'm able to enter a new name, but I can't leave the field until I restore original folder name. Since I use software for windows that can't use long pathnames or space in it, but like to maintain an explicit folder name on OS X, I hope there will be a fix (or some trick to do the job).
P.S. The "VMware Tools install message on the bottom of Settings screenshot is there because the VM was suspended, but renaming folders with running VM has the same behavior"
