Part Design Functionality changed

[bobrim63]

I have run into an issue in the Part Design Workbench within the last couple of weeks with the Mac version. The whole issue exists in the Combo View. This issue is easy to recreate.
1. File new
2. Create Body
3. Create Sketch XY_Plane
4. Choose Circle and draw circle from axis center.
5. Constrain Circle Diameter to 10mm.
6. Close task.
7. Pad Part. Click OK.

This is where the issue exists, or functionality has changed. In the past, double clicking the pad in the Combo View that was just created would bring up the pad dialog in Tasks of the Combo View. Recently double clicking brings up the translate dialog. I can get to the Pad parameters by single clicking pad and then editing values in the Property/Value area. Or, I can get to the Pad dialog by right clicking Pad and select Edit Pad. Frequently if I need to edit the pad, it is because I forgot to place a value in a spreadsheet for a parametric pad. So I edit the spreadsheet and then go back to enter the spreadsheet parameter for the Pad Length.

It is not limited to Pad. If I do a revolution, the same thing happens. A double click on revolution in the Combo View takes me to Translate. If I right click, I can select Edit Revolution and get to where I want.

I much rather prefer double clicking take me to the appropriate dialog. I don't see a need to constantly translate everything.

In the Edit Menu, there is a "Edit Mode" submenu where you can choose what happens on double click. Try change it to "Default"

It is also possible to make such changes directly in the value column of the data tab in combo view.

Is related to this https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=75651 and this https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=75591. Somehow Qt 5.15.6 does not work correctly.

Thanks Jolbas. Your solution was what I was needed. It now works the way I was expecting. I kept looking for a setting like that in the preferences.
