Does not seem to happen here. I can see that layer name gets into
editing state, but immediately after opening the properties dialog the
editor is closed again.

I guess we can just go back to the original behaviour without the
"SelectedClicked" edit trigger. Probably not worth some additional
hacks to keep this feature alive. And then there is still F2 for quick
renaming...
