Just noticed that if I have an object marked as non-selectable, while I can't select it; if I double click it, the Properties dialog opens.  My faulty memory says it wasn't so in the past, but I'll take advice on that.  It seems to be there also in v15.1.

One thing that has changed, I'm pretty sure, is that one used to be able to "select" the item with a right-click and the item would be selected in the properties window (but not on the diagram).  This would allow us to change certain properties in the window, even if the item was non-selectable.

Is the current functionality a replacement for the context menu behaviour - which is no longer available?

I quickly tested against 15.0 and 15.1.

All three versions opens properties on double click. In general the double click behavior should be preserved. Mainly for the sake of hyperlinks, navigation cells.

Only 15.1 showed the properties on right click, but the diagram didn't show it as selected. The result felt weird and wrong to me.
