Description Alexander Potashev 2021-09-03 19:27:52 UTC 
SUMMARY
Cannot unselect text by mouse click in the editing line for a virtual desktop name.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run systemsettings, open the Virtual Desktops KCM
2. Click Rename for one of the virtual desktops (or alternatively double-click on a line in the list) -> there's now a blinking text cursor, and the desktop name is selected (has blue background)
3. Single-click inside the desktop name's text box.

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens.

EXPECTED RESULT
Should unselect all text and put the text cursor to the mouse click location.

For that matter you can't move the insertion point or drag-select text with the mouse either.
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2021-09-09 16:49:50 UTC 
Ah, the double-click mouse area broke it. Will fix.

kcmkwin/kwindesktop: disable double-click mouse area while in edit mode

Otherwise the mouse area eats clicks and prevents text selection using
the mouse from working.
