Modify Element properties does not work

[jmaher]

Element properties docked window:

I cannot modify an element's properties (eg. Element Key name) through the docked element properties window. After typing a value in the field and the focus is lost, so is the modified value. I've tried to press Enter to accept the new property, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

 

The only way that I've found to modify element properties is through the properties 'Dialog' by right-clicking and choosing properties on the element.

 

Although even in the Dialog 'All' tab I've noticed that it's always been a little bit flaky for setting properties. I've just usually avoided these and used the direct fields on the 'Common' tab in the dialog.

 

Anyone else noticed this too?

 

I've always had this problem with iReport up to and including version 3.0.

 

I didn't want to open a new bug, and I think this is the closest Artifact for my problem:

I never use the docked window, I always use either the right click pop up or the 'All' tab to modify properties.

 

I will however start using it a little to see if I notice the same issues.
