1) In JIRA 4.4, a field which could have many selectable options (such as the Component/s field) would show you the whole list and let you scroll down to pick your option. Admittedly if the list was too long, it wouldn't actually accept the selection from near the bottom of the list which was annoying, but at least you could see what options were available to start typing a value to filter the list.
In JIRA 6.1.7, this has changed - you are shown a very limited length list with a note at the bottom saying to start typing to filter the list if you can't see the value you need.
This solution is flawed - because you may not know what to type to filter the list far enough!
Is it possible to configure JIRA 6.1.7 to go back to the JIRA 4.4 approach please? - I can't see an option governing this in the Systema General Config area.
Update: Example image added showing a drop-down list of Components with 'Service' in their title. There are 7 more, but to filter the list further you are going to need to know the name of the component. The whole pint of a drop-down list is that you shouldn't have to know this. in v4.4 there was not this imposed cut-off for the number of items that would be shown.
At least I would add the image if the advanced image tool would let me!
2) Also, the drop down list box is not wide enough to show the full option text.
Can this be adjusted too?
Many thanks, Lesley
