Description

In the rules window, there are 2 fields shown beneath each process name:

  • file
  • item

The file field, when clicked, appears with a focus ring and becomes an editable text field (but of course nothing is "saved" upon editing). Not sure why this is set as an editable field if it's meant to be view-only:
file

The item field seems to be a standard textarea, which is selectable, but not editable:
item

They should probably both be the same type, unless there's a reason for them to be different?

Research direction

Start in the rules window and compare the controls beneath each process name, especially the file and item fields. Reproduce the focus and editing behavior described in the issue, then make both fields consistent with their intended view-only behavior. Done means the two fields have matching, non-editable interaction.
