This is maybe not a bug, but just unclear.

The manual states (The Properties Pane | 1.5 All Fields):
"If the field has the same name as a grid, an arrow is shown after the field name:  . Click this arrow to open it"
However, for some fields, when I click on it, the Scratch Pane is opened instead.

I suspect that this is because the Grid source is actually a Tag, so the Scratch Grid is shown instead?
In this case, there should be no arrow?

Maybe easier just to change the manual to read:
If the field has the same name as a grid, an arrow is shown after the field name:  . Click this arrow to open it"
However, if the grid source is other than the field name, the Scratch Grid will open instead.
 

Comments

I have attached a sample file. In the Properties Pane | All Fields, double click on the "Test_Grid" Field with the arrow => Scratch Grid Opens.
I think that this is because the source of the Test_Grid is not the Test_Grid Field but the #Test_Tag Tag.....

The arrow should maybe not be there? However, it may be difficult to change. Maybe easier to just modify the manual...

 

p.s. As I was creating the sample file, this happened:

z

I had to close the file using "X" (since the file menu was gone) and reopen it.

OK, I agree. We have several cases single/double click on field name & single/double click on arrow (I finally got this sorted out...)

1. A field w/o an arrow (meaning that there is no grid with the same name):
a. Single click on field name => Nothing happens
b. Double-click on field name => Scratch Grid Opens

2. A field with an arrow where the Grid uses a different source (my example):
a. Single click on field name => Nothing happens
b. Double-click on field name => Scratch Grid Opens
c. Single click on arrow => The Grid with the same name as the field opens (as you said!)
d. Double-click on on arrow => Scratch Grid Opens

3. A field with an arrow where the Grid uses the field as source:
a. Single click on field name => Nothing happens
b. Double-click on field name => The Grid with the same name as the field opens
c. Single click on arrow => The Grid with the same name as the field opens
d. Double-click on on arrow => The Grid with the same name as the field opens

 

This is as per design, except for double-click on the arrow. I hadn't considered that case, I'll handle it better. Right now, a double-click is a double-click regardless where it is made

(when you see the "hyperlink hand with a pointing index", it should trigger the reflex that the valid action is a single click. This is the way the web was designed from way back and still is)

The documentation is quite clear on this. Read the sections where double-click is mentioned
