Description

I'm testing WordPress 6.9 Beta 2.

When I try to select and edit a template in the Theme Editor, I can only duplicate existing templates.
The duplicated template is editable.

Up until WordPress 6.8.3, clicking a template opened the edit screen.

Is this change intentional?
I'm confused because I've been working this way until now.

Could you please provide an "Edit" option for existing templates as well?

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

1.Appearance -> Editor
2.Design -> Temlates
3.Click any template
