I'm using SQL Developer 4.1.5.21 (under Windows 7 Professional 64 bit).
(I've just downloaded latest version (17.3) and the issue is still the same.)

Whenever I click or select a table name in the left pane it opens immediately.
How can I prevent this behaviour and be able to just select a table without triggering anything?

I've tried looking in settings, but couldn't solve it myself.

Detailed description of the issue

enter image description here

Whenever I try to drag and drop a table from the left column (e.g. STCO_BOHU) to the query builder, it opens the table as a new tab (next to "start page" and "AllTAbles.sql")

I need to activate my query again, and only the second attempt to drag works (this is consistent, always the second one works).

    Wow, this is worth a lot to you huh!! Could you add a screen shot and point out the area that pops up and what you click on to make this happen? I think it'd be helpful to those that may be able to help that don't know it with a simple addition of a visual with a couple pointing arrows and a box around the specific items if you know what I'm saying. – Vomit IT - Chunky Mess Style Oct 19 '17 at 21:44

Go to Tools → Preferences → Database → Object Viewer and disable Open Object on Single Click.
