Smart Folders in Outlook 2011 for Mac running on Mavericks

I am having a problem managing Smart Folders in Outlook 2011 for Mac.  When I attempt to rename them, either by single clicking the folder name, or clicking the folder name and hitting the enter/return key, Outlooks creates what looks like an "edit box", with the name selected or highlighted.  Almost immediately afterwards, the box loses focus, and I am unable to edit the name.  It's almost as if I selected one of the messages in the smart folder to read, but I haven't and there is no message selected.  This is my first time using Outlook on a Mac, so I have absolutely have no idea what may be causing this.  This doesn't happen with any other program I have installed.  Also, this is a new Mac, so Mavericks is the original OS.
