In EA 13, when I double clicked on an object in a diagram or in the browser, the properties window would open. In EA 16 the only way to open the properties window is to right click and use the context menu. Is there a setting somewhere in EA16 to set double click as open properties? I looked and could not find it.

I don't think you can, but Alt+Enter always opens the properties dialog.
The whole idea (I think) is to try not to use the modal dialogs, but use the docked windows instead.

Hi Richard,
What happens when you double-click? I must admit, I haven't noticed any change in v16, but then almost all our vertices have attached diagrams, so double-click will open the diagram. Don;t forget you can select the vertex and use [Alt+Enter] to open the properties window.

I always wondered why there where two similar / slightly different dialogs for the same purpose. Error by design. But fits flawlessly into EAUI. Pretty sure they will keep both forever.

On EA13 double click opened the properties dialog. ON EA16 depending on context either nothing happens or (on the browser) the element is expanded to show its children (same as clicking on the expand triangle). Neither is useful behaviour methinks

If there is nothing underneath the element, it is selected in a diagram.
