Double Click opens "Track & Via Properties" instead of "Via Properities"

Hi I was messing the track widths in KiCAD 6 and I went to edit a via and It opens the Track & Via Properties instead of Via properties. I’ve tried pressing E, right click and selecting properties from the menu, and double click but all give the same result. It seems KiCAD 5 have the same “Feature” and the solution is to disable “edit action changes track width” as said in this post. I cannot find this in KiCAD 6. Where did it move to?

There is no sole “Via properties” dialog, it’s a combined “Track & Via Properties”. This dialog is shown for vias and for tracks and for a selection containing tracks&vias together.

Also the preferences-setting “enable/disable edit action changes track width” (from your linked thread, from an old v5-version) is not available in v6.

Ok That makes sense but I’ve lost some of the options for editing vias.

What do you miss? (I have never used v5, so I can’t compare)

This is KiCAD 6. Now I think of it all of the options there however there is just no diagram. It doesn’t really matter but it did used to be there.
