3152	Display bits's Select button is unconventional	egmont	andrew_b	"Options -> Display bits looks like:
{{{
Input / display codepage:           
UTF-8                     [ Select ]
}}}
whereas UTF-8 is a non-clickable label reflecting the actual value, and Select is the button that lets you choose a different value.

This is very unusual, does not mimic at all how dropdown lists (html's <select><option>, and similar ones in graphical toolkits) work. A better design would be:
{{{
Input / display codepage: [ UTF-8 ]
}}}
i.e. the currently active value is the button's label.

mc's Advanced chown also works this latter way: the current value (username or group) is the button that you can click on. I'm also following this design in my work in progress patch in #2165."	enhancement	closed	trivial	4.8.12	mc-core	4.8.11	fixed					merged	committed-master
