Description

Go to either '2D Full Canvas' or ' 2D Animation',
Add a blank Grease Pencil,
Change mode to Draw
Drag the header bar to left to review 'Layer:'
Click the down arrow to show the layer's panel
Press + there to add a new layer
Select either old or new layer and while leaving mouse pointer hover over it, you should see a tooltip 'Active layer index, Double click to rename.' Try to double click on it and 'NOTHING HAPPENS'.
In 2D Animation layout you can access the 'Properties' panel on the left and rename there, in 2D Full canvas, you'll have to split window, creating a new one, change it to Properties before you can do the 'RENAME'.

I think the 'RENAME' on the drop down should be allowed here to make it consistent, if NOT, adding and renaming should both be disabled.

Pressing Ctrl+LMB I can rename. This works equal in all Blender UI list (it's not an specific code for grease pencil).

Then the tooltip should say so as well

@Antonio Vazquez (antoniov), I confirmed T66286 actually, seems a general issue with UI_Lists in popovers...
