Comment #3 on issue 18029 by kenmoore: Double-click Style tag or value in  
Inspector does nothing (should invoke edit mode)
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=18029

On Amazon.com I'm inspecting the Sell Your Stuff link in the left-hand  
column about
halfway down the page.  In the inspector, in Computed Style there's "color:  
rgb(0,
75, 145);"  - this color is not editable, and here are the issues I have  
with the
inspector's design and implementation:
  - this style's value isn't editable, whereas it is editable in Firebug  
(any reason
Chrome's inspector shouldn't be as flexible?)
  - there's no visual indication as to which styles are editable and which  
aren't
(Firebug has taught me that I don't need to know the difference because all  
displayed
styles are editable)
  - when double-clicking the values of non-editable styles I see the blue  
text
highlight which mistakenly looks like I've entered edit mode and selected  
the text,
so I start typing but nothing gets replaced, feels like a bug
  - it's not clear whether I need to click on the style name or its value to  
go into
edit mode... in Firebug you can edit EITHER, to change  
the "foreground-color" to
"background-color" for example, or change it from "blue" to "gray".  This  
is a very
handy model!
  - there doesn't seem to be any way to apply new styles as you can in  
Firebug

I want to love Chrome but as a humble CSS lightweight and Firebug user, the  
Chrome
inspector seems like it needs more work to earn my love :)
