Must click on the text itself in varchar field, in order to edit it

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Any row that has data in a varchar field.
2. Doubleclick on an empty space within the field, but not on the text
itself, eg. "[text text  ( )]" - click within (  ) will not allow for
editing the text, only when doubleclicking the text itself. I'm quite sure
in earlier relases you could just doubleclick anywhere in the field (column
width) to edit the data.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.9.5 on 10.5.6.

I'm pretty sure this is the default behaviour of the cells of a table view, 
that was introduced in Leopard and I can 
see no way of changing it besides sub-classing NSTextField, but this is quite a 
bit of work for such a relatively 
small issue. This behaviour is also evident in other Cocoa applications. Unless 
anyone has any other insight this 
issue will be marked as "Won't Fix".

I agree that this wasn't worth subclassing for, but as I had to subclass 
NSTextFieldCell anyway to achieve #209, 
this has been addressed in r1059.
