When I double-click a VI's icon in the top right corner and I have the front panel open, LabVIEW opens the icon editor without complaints. But when I do the same from the diagram LabVIEW opens the icon editor and it also complains by beeping. Why? Is it ticklish?

I've noticed that too. I agree it's annoying but I guess it's never bothered me enough to file a bug on it...When I double-click a VI's icon in the top right corner and I have the front panel open, LabVIEW opens the icon editor without complaints.

I noticed something similar in 8.6. I think it beeps when I go from Run mode to Edit mode for a reentrant VI (the ones that say "clone" in the title bar). Might that be what you're seeing (er... hearing)?

Nope. It beeps any time I try to edit the vi icon from the block diagram rather than the front panel.I noticed something similar in 8.6.

Up to 8.6 I do not have any beep when doing that. I'm using the old style icon editor though.

It's no longer annoying in LV2010. Same behaviour in BD like in FP.

Okay I'll admit it, I didn't realize you could double click the icon to open the icon editor I always right clicked the icon and went to Edit Icon. In either case I have the same behavior with 2009 SP0.
