Please provide the following information

qBittorrent version and Operating System

4.3.3 on Windows 10x64

If on linux, libtorrent-rasterbar and Qt version

type here

What is the problem

The program doesn't accept renaming files or folders keeping the same name switching lower to upper case letters and vice-versa, because it is apparently locked case insensitive. That is, it is not recognizing the difference among e.g. "CD", "cd", "Cd" or "cD" returning a message informing such file or folder still exists.

What is the expected behavior

It should distinguish folder/file names case sensitive.

Steps to reproduce

Add a .torrent file to download stuff and in the main window with the list of files and folders, try to rename any of them, keeping essentially the same word, but replacing lower case letters to upper case letters and vice-versa. For example "sing" to "Sing" or the other way around. That could cause the error.

Extra info(if any)

If you try to rename changing the name, adding or deleting letters, making a distinct name from the previous one, the process will run fine.

Confirmed, doesn't happen in v4.3.2 on Windows. I recall I handled such issues before, this must be a regression introduced recently.
@glassez ping.

Yeah, in the previous versions this didn't happen.

Anyway, thanks a lot for confirming.
