E for edit does not work in all layer configurations

Hello!

Almost everything is said. I have created a layer preset with only silk and values, just to make it easy to solder by hand or other methods. I have noticed that the condition for E (edit) command to work is when there is at least the copper layer. In my case, for instance if I want to edit C16 below, the E command does not do anything.

Is this a bug?

Thanks

Version? ------------

Hello eelik!

Sorry about it!
The version is the latest 5.99. I use Ubuntu 21.04, and it gets updated everyday automatically, together with Kicad nightly.

Thanks!

One other suggestion, enable full screen cursor and take the screenshot again.

What exactly do you want to edit? “C16” is ambiguous because it can mean either the whole component or the reference designator. Tell also which items and layers you have enabled – one can have values on any layer.
