This has been bugging me lately :

how do you edit text (for example, correct a spelling mistake) in a Lucidchart diagram using the keyboard or mouse?

I have tried to double click but there is no feedback that the edit mode is enabled ?

It overwrites if i start typing on the basic shape.

Good news! I got to the bottom of this issue.

Turns out if you increase the Mouse ->Double-Click Speed (mine was somehow set to fast), causes this problem to manifest!

I turned down Double-Click Speed to Slow!

That is all there is to this problem.

Hope this helps someone like me!
