Double-clicking TOC topic open Properties dialog

[rogerbell]

I'm using Flare 7.2 and just encountered an issue. I used to be able to double-click a topic from the TOC pane and the topic would open in the XML Editor. Now the Properties dialog is appearing each time instead. This happens across projects. I can still right-click and open the topics, but I want my double-click back. Has this happened to anyone else?

Did you restart Windows? Once in a while my Windows 7 forgets that my keyboard has a Control key or thinks I have it always pressed. And no, it is not the keyboard itself despite that being one of these cheapo Dell ones.
Other than that...not sure.

there is a button the TOC toolbar that toggles to opening the topic or the properties for the topic. it is the last button on the row (looks like a chapter/book with a cursor). you may have accidentally clicked that. make sure you reset your layout too (window > layout > reset)

from the help - "Click this button if you want to toggle the behavior of double-clicking an item in the TOC. The default behavior (without the toggle button selected) is that double-clicking an item will open the properties dialog, and holding down the CTRL key while double-clicking will open the file linked to the item. If you activate the toggle button, this behavior is reversed; double-clicking an item opens the file linked to it, and holding the CTRL key while double-clicking will open the properties dialog."
