Symbology class unique values list — Select a symbol by clicking in blank column

ArcGIS Pro 2.9.5; Oracle 18c 10.7.1. EGDB; line FC

In the Symbology Pane > Primary symbology > Classes tab > list of symbols/unique values:

I want to click a given symbol/row and delete it using the 'Delete' keyboard key.

As mentioned in Remove specific symbol class from Unique Values list, we can click in the 'Value' or 'Label' columns to select a row. However, users often try to click in the blank column on the right-hand side to select a row; clicking in that column doesn't select the row.

Could the blank column be enhanced so that it's clickable/selectable as well? I think that would be more intuitive. Otherwise, users get the impression that the rows aren't selectable at all since clicking the blank column has no effect. (Maybe users avoid clicking in the 'Value' or 'Label' columns because they think clicking will automatically go into text editing mode, which isn't what they want.)

Edit: I suppose this idea applies to right-clicking as well. Right-clicking in the blank column has no effect, which is unintuitive.

This was exactly my issue which wasted a lot of time trying to diagnose. I echo everything Bud is describing for the enhancement.
