I can't rename an event

I'm using FCPX 10.0.5.

I created an event to import some old video using firewire. The event was named "New Event 1-10-14". I want to change this name. I can't. I select it and right-click and I don't see a "rename" option. I searched for help and it suggested I click on it and type a new name or hit return, I just get an error tone and nothing happens.


Can anyone help?


Thanks

Hover your cursor over the name in the Event Library List and single left click on the test. That should open a text box that you can edit.

Well, you were concerned (rightly) about updating in the middle of projects. Apple has a KB doc about updating best practices that essentially advises zipping the app, the projects and the events. If you were to do that and went to the App Store, ideally you would get the option to download 10.0.9. (At least that seemed to be the case for me when I "showed" 10.0.5 to the App Store; however, I did not proceed any farther.) ) So I would think that was a reasonable path to take once you complete your projects.
