Issue Summary
Under the component list tab, I can add, arrange and delete components. But when I try to edit a component, the link just reloads the same list with no error message.
Is this a bug or do I have something set wrong?

Hm, I can't reproduce this problem. What's the URL of the page when you click on the edit link for a component?
#2
Not sure this is what you wanted (the site is on a development server), but the line in HTML for the link is
<a href="/node/89/webform/components/1?destination=node%2F89%2Fwebform%2Fcomponents%3Fcid%3D1">Edit</a>I completely deleted and unistalled everything and then downloaded and installed a new copy of the module. I'm still getting the same result.
Any ideas?

I tried again in a production environment which had never had Webform installed. Installed it, added a webform, added a component, then I could go back to edit that component. All seemed good.
However, now that I've added 18 components, I go to edit the last one added and I get the same problem as on the other server. It looks like it's loading, then the same component list is displayed.

Hm, I'm still at a loss to explain this. Sounds crazy, but could you try using a different browser? I've never seen or heard of this particular issue happening before where you can add but not edit components, so I'm trying to think if it's something particular about your setup that is leading to the issue.

Tried switching from IE to Firefox. Logged in, went to my webform, selected a component to 'edit' and it worked! Went back to the list, selected another component to edit, and it doesn't go to the edit page again.
After checking various settings to see if maybe some other module or permission is interfering, I tried logging out of the site and then back in. Then it worked! One time. Then it failed again.
I can reproduce this behavior in both Firefox and IE. If I log out and back in, I can edit a component. After that first time, it just reloads the component list. Let me know if this gives you an idea of what the problem could be. If not, I'll try deactivating other modules to see if there is a conflict with one of them.

Wow, huh. More weird results. Do you have any caching modules like Boost installed? Perhaps something is causing very odd caching of the pages.

I had exactly the same issue.
I had Smart tabs module installed. Once I droped this module, everything was working fine again.
I made a new Drupal install with just webform without any other module and everything was ok. I installed Smart tabs and the strange behavior appeared again. For me it was a Smart Tabs issue and I just found this http://drupal.org/node/1111104

Thanks @HollyJim for the report.
I haven't heard back from @mettam, so I'm closing this issue.

Just to let you know that I'm seeing this same issue right now, with a new web form that I've just been creating. Everything fine until I began clicking the Edit links on the form components screen. The first Edit link works fine, but clicking on a second link does nothing more than refresh the page, and I don't reach the edit screen. Log out, and then back in, and I get to edit one more component before the issue happens again. This is using the current version of Safari on OS X. I'll check what else I'v got installed, and try a different browser, and report back if I find anything.

As noted by HollyJim I too had the Smart Tabs module running. Disabling this module fixed the issue. Don't know if it's a Webform issue or a Smar tTabs issue, but they don't work together.
#12
I can't find the project "Smart Tabs", otherwise I'd transfer the issue over there. Sounds likely to be a JavaScript problem.

I've run into this exact problem too. Disabling smart menus corrects the issue.
I wish I would have searched and found this topic before deleting and redoing several forms.
#14
Here's the issue over in the Smart Tabs queue: #1111104: Webform and Smart menus. I don't think there's anything we can do on the Webform side.
#15
Closing this issue since there's nothing to do on the Webform side of things.

I've got Webform 6x-3-17 installed on Drupal 6.25.
I have two forms with select form elements that need to be kept in sync with the custom module for the site.
When I go Edit Form Component, the select Key|Label list appears, but I am unable to edit the field. I can select text, but any entries are ignored.
Never have had Smart Tabs installed.
The edit field is open and the text is selectable but no input is accepted and thus I cannot edit.
This behavior is consistent with both latest Chrome and latest Firefox.
Googling got me to this issue, which is the closest, so I changed the module from 3.9 to 3.17 and posted this. If that is in appropriate, please move to new issue.
Any thoughts on why this behavior is happening would be welcome.
Also, the checkbox for 'multiple select' is at the lower right of the Tokens field, suspect a <br/> is missing in a template somewhere.

Changing Status to needs work to allow Mods to review my last post.

It sounds like you have a pre-built select list selected, which disables the editing. Set the "Load a pre-built option list" back to "None" to allow editing.
