Problem with Resize Dialog

Enter View mode and go to Image->Resize... so that the Resize dialog comes up. If you pick an entry from the drop-down list other than "Custom", your choice is reflected in all of the text and numerical boxes in the dialog, but the drop-down list still says "Custom". This is very non-standard and is certainly not correct behavior.

Yes, as you can change value, now it's custom

Yes, I understand that if you change one of the values, the drop-down list should change to "Custom". However, if you pick one of the non-"Custom" entries from the drop-down list, the drop-down list should no longer say "Custom". Anyone else agree with me?

But if you change with or height, the drop down list entry is now incorrect???

Yes... but only once you have actually modified those values. Not if you didn't modified them in the textboxes yet.

As soon as you modify one of the values, the drop down list should jump back to "Custom". This would be correct behaviour, I think.
The current behaviour in 1.81 is not 100% correct, but this is just a minor bug and not much effort should be spent on this one. (Sure enough all bugs should be fixed, but there's much more important ones which we should focus on, first).

I guess my biggest problem with the current behavior is that it's inconsistent and confusing. When I select a non-"Custom" entry from the drop-down list, I expect the values in the boxes to change appropriately and I expect the value shown in the drop-down list to change as well. This is the standard behavior for a drop-down list in any application on any platform. The fact that the drop-down list still says "Custom" is not consistent with what is "actually" happening and is, quite frankly, confusing. I agree that it's a minor graphical fault and not as important as, say, a fault in functionality, but should be fixed nonetheless.
