I would suggest the following improvements to the UI of the working set selection dialog:

- When 'Selected Working Sets' is not selected all controls below it should disabled as they do not apply
- The controls below the 'Selected Working Sets' radio button should get an indent to align with the text of the radio button.
- The radio button texts should use sentence capitalization, e.g. 'Selected working sets'
- There's a mix of 'working set' and 'working sets'
- Missing mnemonics

I'll fix all but the first one.  This behavior is intentional  - when you check on a box there the radio gets implicitly changed to the third option.  This means one less click for the user.  We use this idea elsewhere in the UI as well.

Punting.

I agree with Martin that the list of working sets should be disabled unless "Selected Working Sets" (misses a terminating ":") is selected. I'm not aware of other places in the UI where logically disabled controls are enabled visually.

Saving a single click or mnemonic shotcut is IMO not a good reason for showing inconsistent UI.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
