It is difficult to just select a dimension by clicking on it - especially angular dimensions. When I select a dimension, the only area that allows selection is the number itself, then  it opens the small number input dialogue, as below !!!!!   a PIA when all you want to do is select ot delete !!!...I would expect this ONLY when double clicking. I can work around this by area selection with dimension only filters applied but a hassle that wastes many seconds of time over a typical day.

Not a bug, more of a UI annoyance :-)

Is there Anyway to change this behaviour ??  eg a setting ?? Option ??

ideally so:

1 a single click selects whole dimension and

2. a double click selects the small number input dialogue (as it seemed to work before).

[I'm sure this was the behaviour in  SWKS nearlier than 2016.
