Description:
When you are editing a row in SQL Editor you can't right click the field you want to edit and select Open Value in Editor. Since you are in edit-mode the opened menu is Undo, Cut, Copy, Delete, ...

I'm quite sure this problem occurred did not exist in version 5.2.30.

How to repeat:
1. Open a table with menu "Edit Table Data" or sql "EDIT table1"
2. Add a new row or start editing one of the rows in table.
3. Right click the field you are editing.
4. The right-menu does not show "Open Value in Editor".

Workaround:
Right click on another field or row with the cursor still in the field you want to edit.

Suggested fix:
The menu "Open Value in Editor" should be able to be edited the field that has focus.

There is one "occurred" to much in the Description. :)

Looks like you have to right click on some other field to open current value in the editor...

another workaround is to press Esc key (twice) to exit edit-mode

Fixed as of 5.2.36:
+        Pressing <keycap>Esc</keycap> once now escapes out of edit mode
+        within the row editor. Before, it had to be pressed twice.
