dreamweaver mx2004 css palette

I've just started using Dreamweaver MX2004 - Whats happened to the "single
click to apply " fabulous CSS palette?
It seems you have to muck about right clicking and applying... It seems like
such a backward step and seems more time consuming. I'm thinking of reverting
back to old "MX" to solve this.

Have I missed some kind of configuration option that improves the function of
the css palette rather than the way it operates, or is it an improvement that
I'm going to have to endure and re-install the old version of MX?

It's actually a great improvement. The single click to apply method
suffered from the "Hmm - that didn't work, I think I'll do it again"
syndrome, creating monsters like this -

blah

If you want to approximate this method, make a selection in Design view, and
use the style dropdown on the Property inspector....

Its still slower, I wouldnt mind if it was an improvement - Re clashing style
mess in code, thats not really a problem when you have a plain text file that
you want to style up "QUICKLY" you see what I'm getting at?

Looks like its back to the old version for me then....

No. There's nothing quicker than creating a descendent selector style, and
wrappiing your text in a <div> tag or something.

Sorry, but when you're working on a system with three screens, and palettes
open for fast access, using a combo selector is no way as good as having a list
that you just single left click on that is always showing!
