-------
In the Footprint Editor:
If you go to File --> Properties... you can NOT change the "Value" entry.
However, if you double-click the "value" in the footprint editor you can.
Shouldn't you be able to change it in both places? If you want it to *only* be changeable in the editor window, please grey it out in the Properties window. Otherwise, please make it editable in both places.

Update: in the Footprint Properties box I finally notice the "Edit" button (sorry, I should have seen that). Please grey out the entry box to make it more obvious it is not directly editable.
