Description

System Information
Operating system: Windows 10, latest updates
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070/PCIe/SSE2

Blender Version
Broken: 3.1.2 shipping; blender-3.3.0-alpha+master.9531eb24b317-windows.amd64-release
Worked: Unknown

Short description of error
The Annotations system lets you create annotations on named layers. The hover hint for each layer says "Double click to rename." but that doesn't work. Nor does F2.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

  • Open the attached CantRenameAnnotationLayer.blend
  • Activate one of the Annotate tools
  • in the sidebar Tool menu, hover over the layer name field to the right of the Color swatch, which causes the layers info to display
  • DBLCLICK on Note.001

Expected/Actual
Expect the name text to enter edit mode so you can rename.
Actual: nothing happens. Cannot edit the layer name.

This has been reported before, see T66286: Doubleclick not working in UI_Lists in popovers (e.g., grease pencil /annotations layers renaming), will merge reports.

note: you can still use Ctrl+click to rename

Hi Philipp, maybe they should just change to hint text to "Ctrl+Click to rename" and leave it at that :)
Thanks for the Ctrl+Click reminder. Note F2 doesn't work in those panels either. But Object Data Properties > Layers supports all of those methods.
