Description

1. Import/generate a clip
2. Rename it
3. Select the clip
4. Cmd(Ctrl)+B to create a label

**Actual result:** the label is added, and the clip's title enters Edit mode. If the clip isn't renamed in step 2, the bug is still reproducible but in a slightly less obvious way: the clip's name doesn't get selected in this case, but the clip's name would still be in Edit mode.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue using the listed clip import, rename, selection, and Cmd/Ctrl+B steps, then trace the clip-selection, label-creation, and title-editing handling involved. Done means adding a label no longer leaves the clip title in Edit mode, including for both renamed and default-named clips.
