Please provide some more information. A video would be useful too. Thanks.

The renaming (changing the text of the component) should start when you click twice on a component - when the second click is near the point of the first click. Are you getting this just on the first click? That would be quite weird. Single clicks should just select the components. This is in the GUI design. It is slightly different in the navigator tree, but also single clicks should never invoke renaming there.

BTW is there a difference when you click on a button (JButton) and label (JLabel)?
