Is the Club ("Edit Symbols") menu supposed to actually do something?

I click the Club button in the upper left of the stage panel. I get a hierarchical menu of the contents of my library. I click on one of the library items and... the menu closes. Nothing else happens. Isn't something supposed to happen?

In Animate 2020 where this was first introduced, it works as expected - choosing a symbol from the drop-down opens it for editing in isolation.

In AA 2021 it is already broken.

 

It's remarkable that no one has reported this bug until now, @ClayUUID !

This only shows how useless such a feature is.

I'm on v. 23.0.2 on Windows 11 and it is working fine for me. How do you trigger the bug? Just clicking on the items is not showing the issue.

Interesting. On further experimentation, it does work with new documents. It does not work with documents created in a previous version of Animate.

 

I can't even imagine what kind of spaghetti hackery would give rise to a bug like that.
