    problem when attempting to edit in a list window

    I'm running the latest R12 (build 201013) on OSX 10.13.6 High Sierra. I've been trying to use a list window to change a field value for the results of a search. In this order:

    I execute a Find on a field that is defined as a Fact for a Person;
    I move the Results to a List Window;
    I click on a person to highlight the entry;
    I click on the Fact I want to change.

    Nothing happens. I expected it to remove the highlighting for that field and put it in edit mode...

    I upgraded from R9 this summer, where I used this technique frequently. I don't remember if I've used it since the upgrade. I've double-checked the setting for this ability in General Preferences, and the option Enable editing in lists is checked. According to the manual, that should be sufficient for this operation to work.

    Does anyone know what I've missed?

    After clicking to select the field, try clicking once more on the text you want to change. (But, don't double-click on it.) Afterward, it should be in "edit" mode.
