I suggest to keep this behavior because:
- it is consistent: being on brackets change the type.
Everywhere, not just outside of CLOCK lines.
- Org-mode changes the timestamp according to the position of the
cursor: on year it changes the year, on month it changes the
month, on day it changes the day, on hour it changes the hour, on
minute it changes the minutes (in 5 minutes steps). On the
bracket, it changes the type.
I really do not intend to offend you but you should simply position
your cursor more carefully since changing timestamps simply is
related to that position as described above.
Or maybe there is a variable which could deactivate timestamp type
change behavior in general.
You might be right with «Toggle between active and inactive
timestamp in CLOCK line does not make sense» but I do think that
«the toggle mechanism to change timestamp type behaves consistently
everywhere» is more important here.
