  Error Message
  W3_TOOL081: Double-click inside the tag
  
  Cause
  This error typically occurs in the SAP Web Dynpro or BSP (Business Server Pages) environment when a user attempts to double-click inside an HTML/XML tag in the source editor or a similar tool that processes markup code.
  
  The editor or tool expects the double-click action to be performed on text outside of the tag delimiters (i.e., outside < and >).
  Double-clicking inside the tag (for example, on the tag name or attributes) is not supported or recognized by the tool, leading to this error.
  It may also happen if the tool tries to parse or manipulate the tag but encounters an unexpected cursor position or selection.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  While editing or debugging Web Dynpro components.
  When working with BSP applications or HTML/XML source code in SAP development tools.
  Possibly during code navigation or refactoring actions that rely on double-click selection.
  
  
  Solution / How to fix
  
  Avoid double-clicking inside the tag delimiters. Instead, double-click on the text outside the tag, such as the content between tags or on attribute values.
  If you need to select or edit tag names or attributes, use single-click and manual selection rather than double-click.
  Check if the editor or tool has updates or patches that improve tag handling.
  If this happens frequently and disrupts your workflow, consider using a different editor or tool that better supports HTML/XML editing within SAP.
  Review SAP Notes or support documentation for your specific SAP GUI or Web Dynpro version for any known bugs or fixes related to this message.
  
  
  Related Information
  
  This message is informational and related to user interaction in the editor.
  It is not a runtime error affecting application logic but rather a UI/editor behavior.
  SAP Notes or forums may have discussions on improving Web Dynpro or BSP source editing experience.
  If you are developing Web Dynpro applications, consider using the latest SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio or Eclipse-based tools which have better support for XML/HTML editing.
