When you go to the tab with the "Profile Editor" you see all the profiles as a list in the middle of the screen showing two columns ("Version name" and "Version")
When double klicking on one of those you can edit that specific profile. However there are some odd behavour here:
If you select a profile in that list, the selected profile in the dropdown list down in the lower left corner does not change.
This also means that if you press "Edit profile" instead of double klicking after selecting one in the top list, you wont get the list you tried to select, but the one previously selected in the dropdown list (down left).
Also If you press enter instead of double klicking when you have an item selected in the list it behaves as the tab key and you switch to the next profile in the list instead of entering editing mode as you would expect.
(On a bit of a sidenote: In general the UI is quite hard to navigate only using your keyboard.)

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft Launcher version 2.0.805 / 2.0.806? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases. If this has been done, we can reopen the issue.
Keep in mind that the "Resolved"-Status on this ticket just means "Answered", and that we are waiting for further information on whether this issue still exists or not. It will be reopened it as soon as the requested information has been delivered.

This may be intended behavior...? Maybe? You would expect it to change the selection on the bottom left, though. Nevertheless, behavior confirmed.
"Also If you press enter instead of double klicking... it behaves as the tab key..."
Pressing Enter is actually slightly different than Tab: the Tab key switches focus to the next column, or if no next column is available to the next row; the Enter key switches to the next row. Although it would be nice to have a key (or even menu option on right click) to play the profile you have selected in the Profile Editor tab, this is currently not a feature (or bug).
"... only using your keyboard."
Probably because the developers assume you also use some sort of pointer (eg: a mouse or touch interface).
