Bug Description

Because of the way that different browsers trigger (or don't) onclick handlers for option tags, there's no way to trigger an edit on existing stat cat entries in most browsers. Because of its lineage, Firefox is still able to edit them since it works in the same way as the XUL client.

I realize this interface will be completely rewritten when it's Angular-ized, but I wanted to make sure this quirk was documented in case it has an effect on how it's written. i.e. this was done so you can edit an entry even if an onchange handler wouldn't be triggered; I don't know if Angular gets around that some other way or if it should just be changed to a mode with a button to click. (Probably, for discoverability...)

Stat cats can be edited and deleted in the proposed angular port of the stat cat interface; however, I'm not sure the end result is the desired behaviour.

When a patron stat cat value is edited the value in the patron account is not updated to match. The old value remains as the chosen value and the edited version is now available from the drop down menu.

When a item stat cat is edited the value in the item editor displays with the edited version. I'm not sure whether the edited version is saved in the item record as there's no way to view the value without running a report.

When a patron stat cat value is deleted the value remains in the patron account but no longer displays in the dropdown.

When an item stat cat value is deleted it no longer displays in the drop down in the item editor. Again I'm not sure whether or not the original value is still saved in the item record.
