Comment #4 on issue 18029 by [email protected]: Double-click Style tag  
or value in Inspector does nothing (should invoke edit mode)
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=18029

Thanks for your detailed reply. Now the issue is clear to me. I will take  
appropriate
actions to fix it. Let me provide you with the hints and workrounds for now  
so that
you could continue using the tool and provide us with even more feedback!

"Computed Style" is a composition of all of the styles applied to the  
element as the
renderer gets it. It is read-only by design since we don't have a pointer  
to the
actual rule that contributed a property being edited. I agree  
that 'resolving' the
actual contributor and allowing editing would be handy. For now one should  
find the
actual rule in the selector section below and edit it. Firebug does not  
have this
'computed' view on the style. We could make it optional, but it sounds like  
a good
idea to show what the rendering engine gets for a particular element.

At the moment, the only way to find out whether property is editable is to  
hover over
it and see if enable/disable checkbox appears. We will find a better way.  
However, it
is still important for us to show what is contributed by the user / user  
agent in the
read-only mode so that the user would actually see what browser provides by  
itself
and whether it needs to be overridden.

You should be able to double-click either name or value of the editable  
property and
edit any of them just as in Firebug, please tell us if that is not the case.

The double-click issue you are describing is probably text selection that  
appears on
the read-only field. It is just one more argument for the issues above.

There are two big things missing in our CSS story at the moment:
1) Show styles inherited from the parent nodes (like fonts, etc.)
2) Apply styles - the one you mentioned.
Do you see anything else? Please let us know!

Thanks again for your reply. We are working hard to gain your love :)
