5. Repeat steps 2 and 3.

Actual Results:
Old file name is shown again, step #4 is repeated.

Expected Results:

Additional Info:
Additionally, upon the first discovery that a file no longer exists, a right-click on the dead link might open a file manager window to support the user in locating a renamed or shifted file.
