With 6.x double click on an input field will now open the input field dialog. Great thing to have! Thanks a lot! One thing would make it even better: Whenever you double-click you generally intend to change the value within the input-field. So it would be great if the existing content would be selected as default [as it was with the old input-field dialog]. At the moment you will have to double-click the content to start editing. It would be great if this could be implemented. Thanks!
+1 from me :-)
