Checked with the latest development build

• I have tested the latest development version and the problem persists

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

In the rank column, the rank can be set from one to five stars using a single left-click. However, once set, it cannot be unset (i.e. going to zero stars) using the same single left-click. A double-click is needed, which is inconsistent with the UI behavior for other special fields.

1. Display the rank column (in Options -> Preferences -> Entry table)
2. For an entry, do a left click on the first star (the one to the left (this sets the rank: the star is not dim anymore)
3. Do another left click on this first star.
   • Expected behavior: this unsets the rank, dimming the star.
   • Observed behavior: nothing happens.

In fact, a double click on the rank column do the job, but this is inconsistent with the behavior of the other special fields (printed, relevance), where a single left-click unset the field.
