Thank you so much. I knew I had seen this option before but couldn't find it for the life of me, and Google led me to this thread. Leaving a comment in case anybody else has the same frustration I had.
Although the configuration option says it's about the Tab key, enabling it does pretty much what I want it to: if I click on a composite column in the book list, the Template editor window no longer pops up. The field might seem to enter an edit mode, with placeholder text saying that editing composite columns is disallowed, but this can be dismissed with the ESC key. More importantly, I don't have to dismiss the template editor.
TL;DR: the above-mentioned configuration option affects the behaviour of mouse clicks too, not just the tab key it claims to. (And that's a good thing!)
