Describe the bug
Context: when the right side panel is open, clicking on the body of a card updates the side panel content to display the details of the card having been clicked.
Bug: when clicking on the title of the card, however, this opens the input field for the title but the side panel still shows the previously "selected" card.
I consider this a bug, or at least a serious usability issue, because I very often end up modifying the wrong card: I rapidly click on it and edit the details in the side panel, only to realize afterwards that I had clicked on the title, and therefore edited another card.
To Reproduce
- Create two cards C1 and C2
- Open the right side panel and ensure that it displays the details of C1
- Click on the title of C2 (the title changes into an input field)
- Make a change in the details in the side panel
- You have changed C1, not C2
Expected behavior
I would expect that when you click anywhere on a card, including the title, if the side panel is already opened, it is updated to display the details of that card.
NB: this is related, but different from issue #2563. My suggestion is not to change the way clicks on the title behave, but in addition to that, to ensure that the side panel (if open) is updated.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Reproduce the issue with two cards, an open side panel, and a title click, then trace the frontend card-title click and side-panel selection entry points. Done means clicking a card title updates the open side panel to that card while preserving title editing behavior.
