Hi Roger,

  If I understand correctly, by "window selection" you mean holding left mouse
button, then dragging - drawing a box around objects,
thus selecting them, right?
  Unfortunately, we cannot determine whether selection was
made by that "window selection" method or by clicking individual items, or by
some other means. So, at most, we can make the behaviour configurable, as in
the code example above: press F2, and you can select/edit single attribute;
press F1, and window selection will work as intended.

Dmitry.
