Description:
Double clicking a layer in the "Layers" palette doesn't select it. Double click any other object in this window and it becomes selected.

How to repeat:
Place a layer on a EER diagram and make sure that it is not selected. Open the "Layers" palette and try to select the layer by double clicking it. You cannot. Any other object may be selected in this way. Being able to select objects in this fashion is especially important if you have set the visible property to "False" -- it is the easiest way to locate them and make them visible again.

Suggested fix:
Allow selection from the "Layers" palette.

I'd like to raise the priority of this, I can find no way to select a hidden layer! Therefore this is a loss of functionality with no workaround.

A context menu has been added where layers and other objecs can be selected or edited.

fixed. will be included in 5.1.15

An entry was added to the 5.1.15 changelog:

Double-clicking a layer in the Layers tab did not select it in the EER Diagram canvas. However, other objects in the Layers tab could be selected on the EER Diagram canvas in this manner.
