gEDA-bug: [Bug 844964] [NEW] gschem attribute editor ignores double click

[KaiMartin <844964@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

The click policy of the gschem attribute editor is very non standard. Currently, it asks for two click actions to edit one of the attributes. A click action can be either a single click, or a double click. The result is confusing:
Depending on the speed, two clicks will enter edit mode, or just select the current line. I have seen many newbies struggle with this behavior.

To reproduce:

1) open gschem

2) add a component

3) select the component and type [ee]] to make the attribute editor
appear.

4a) left-mouse-click an attribute value twice with some decent time between the clicks
--> The  value enters keyboard edit mode

4b)  left-mouse-click an attribute value twice with little time between the clicks, so the window manager interprets it as a double click.
--> The whole row of the attribute get selected color. The value field needs yet another mouse click to enter edit mode.

Proposed resolution: directly enter edit mode on any left mouse click
(single, or double).
