Description

This is mentioned in # 4978. I can rename the tracks with a right click quickly and this is fine; but I can also rename with two clicks with the left button.

This last option is very annoying because when you open an instrument or an editor quickly, it is unintentionally renamed. I think they should remove the renaming tracks feature with double left click and only rename with the right click.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Song Editor behavior shown in the issue: compare double left-click renaming with the existing right-click rename flow. Trace the track-name editing entry point and verify that opening an instrument or editor quickly no longer changes the track name, while right-click renaming still works.
