A Screenshot of the Absent Context Menu Entries

SUMMARY

DrKonqi asynchronously loads the distribution method, but doesn't indicate that it's loading it to the user, which means that (presumably, on slow internet connections), all the user sees is the "Unspecified" option.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Invoke DrKonqi's report GUI.
2. Quickly select the drop-down.
3. Close it.
4. Wait.
5. Open it again.

OBSERVED RESULT

The context menu initially solely contained "Unspecified", but now contains all.

EXPECTED RESULT

A loading *bar* should replace the button.

reportpage: indicate the loading state better

in lieu of combobox providing a busy state we'll mimic it by
manipulating the displaytext accordingly
