Single click jumps to the position in the document but indeed double does nothing on top and could run the edit comment dialog.

FWIW, I would prefer the implementation as in bug 139633. Not double clicking launching the dialog. The dialog has really a 90's vibe.

Opening the dialog is second best, IMHO

I don't see a "comment field". There is a comment column in a table. Double-clicking anywhere in this row - does nothing.

So, I don't believe that this is a bug, but an enhancement request.
