When I want to rename a field in de design (panel), then often / mostly the field turns out to be protected. Even the left and right arrow do not function. I can use the mouse to select all or some character, but I can not change anything or even navigate using arrowkeys. This also happens when using refactor on a fieldname. Often I can get the field to be unprotected, if I change to a different field on the response and then back to the "rename" field. This renders the field unprotected so I can perform the rename. However, in the case of renaming a field in Matisse, there are no other fields to change to, and pressing the buttons OK or Cancels ends the dialog. So, all I can do is repeat the process until, for some reason the field-rename turns a dialog with a edittable field for renaming......
Reassigning to form, please evaluate.
I've heard about such problems on Linux. It is likely more general problem, maybe a JDK bug. Looks similar to issue 49804, so reassigning to core for evaluation.
