Update Options>Update Channel field #225

[2.0.5-alpha.15] I think it would be better if the SMA Update Channel field wasn't text-editable. Unless there is actually secret channels that can only be accessed that way. In which case.... never mind, just silently delete this issue ¯(ツ)

Otherwise I think it would be more sensible if this was a greyed out field. The arrow should not have to be hit specifically to get to the drop-down. It should suffice to hit that field anywhere and trigger the dropdown. Similarly weird for keyboard users who select the field and use down-arrows to switch between channels. They won't see all available channels at once, which is confusing. Also they'll see the channels with a blue text-background, because they are text-selected, which is also confusing.

Here is a positive example in TheBrain 11 of how I could be done differently: image

The mouse here can click anywhere into the field. Here's some more of this behaviour: https://www.loom.com/share/e60fd7cb471d49b4a3f9111c08fa359a

PS: This is neither a bug nor a feature request. Maybe allow the reporter an "Enhancement"-option for issue creation?

That makes sense
