Other needed UI updates:
- User agent field in Network Conditions panel should always be editable. Read-only fields make it hard to quickly edit a section of a preset user agent.
An always editable input field is what I imagined also, but I changed it after a discussion with Lushnikov.
We were concerned that users might think that selecting a preset and editing it might indicate that they were editing the saved preset value. By allowing double click to edit, it would be clear that the preset value is read only.
I'm not a UI expert, is this a non-issue? If so, it's a quick fix.
I think switching from the selected preset to "Custom" once a user edits the UA string is sufficient feedback to explain that we are not overwriting a saved preset. Double-clicking a text field is not common and non-standard behavior so I think we shouldn't do that.
