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