Synopsis: Provide a release pulldown with supported versions of the compiler listed; don't refresh the schreen

Description
This is actually two feature requests. Forgive my laziness.

On the "Problem Report Submission" form, it would be helpful and less error prone for the Release field to be an editable combo box, allowing people to select from the release versions of the compilers (where most problems are probably reported) or allow a manual value to be edited.

When an item is selected from the existing combo boxes, it should not be necessary for the entire Web page to be refreshed. Please change the Web site so that a combo box selection doesn't force this refresh.

Okay, I lied, I have a third request. The way files are currently uploaded is error prone. It's too easy to browse to a file and then forget to click upload. The minimal change might be to swap the buttons. Have the workflow of clicks go from left to right, instead of the opposite. A better solution would be to look at Yahoo mail handles attachments, for one example. There a button is presented to add files. This opens a new page where files can be added. The user can browse to multiple files, then either attaches them all, or cancels the operation. There's less opportunity for error. Then on returning to the email, the attachments are listed, along with an option to return to the download dialog where the attachments can be modified.

Thanks,

Greg
