Hello together!

I noticed some time ago that the CPU and OS target comboboxes in "Project settings" -> "Compiler settings" -> "Code generation" (or similar, I'm using the German version ^^) have "Style" set to "csDropDown". Recently I decided whether I can put this to some use. So I entered "nativent" into the OS target box and clicked "ok" in the hope that Lazarus would try to use that "unknown" target (the compiler which is currently set would have accepted it), but my hope was destroyed shortly after.

So my question is the following: Why is the style of those two comboboxes set to "csDropDown" instead of "csDropDownList"? It only confuses and one expects to enter some custom target in there which Lazarus should use...

I can also open a bug report if you want me to :)

Regards,
Sven
