Bug Description
reason:
1. when pressing e to change values or info on a footprint, you can accidentally change the width of a track. this being not directly obvious and visible it can ruin your board.
2. to change track width you have to be in trak laying mode anyway as the track width menu item is only visible there.

There is a preference called "Edit action changes track width" that you can disable to prevent this behavior.
I'm leaving this as wishlist b/c I don't understand why we have this action double-mapped. I think it makes more sense to move this to a separate tool (e.g. paste style). When the option is enabled, you can't edit a track.
