 Description   

To change a node value the user must double-click the existing value and type a replacement. The default value string that Magnolia assigns to new content nodes is the hyphen character (-). For example, the Title of new pages and the Value of new data nodes is hyphen.

The hyphen character is too small and hard to click; only 3 pixels wide and 1 pixel high. Clicking anywhere else in the column does not switch the value to edit mode. A new user will be clicking and wondering why they cannot edit the value, until they hit exactly on the hyphen.

Suggested improvement: make the whole column a click target. See screenshot.

Given the thousands of other issues we have open that are more highly requested, we won't be able to address this issue in the foreseeable future. Instead we will focus on issues with a higher impact, and more votes.
Thanks for taking the time to raise this issue. As you are no doubt aware this issue has been on our backlog for some time now with very little movement.
I'm going to close this to set expectations so the issue doesn't stay open for years with few updates. If the issue is still relevant please feel free to reopen it or create a new issue.
