I'll have a look. Not sure why the drop down would be gone.
Comment 2 michael 2018-12-07 15:51:23 UTC
The current master has a set of radio buttons for this. If the dialog is too short these will not show. I personally think that a drop down would be better for this. It does not however appear to be a regression but rather a UI design flaw.

Sorry for the late reply. Somehow I overlooked your last reply. You are right, there are radio buttons. Just discovered them by chance. They did not show 'cause the window was too small. Using drop down instead would be great.
