Originally created by @guiweber on GitHub (Jan 8, 2015).

When adding a torrent, if the "Save as" drop down menu is fully populated (9 paths in the list), it is one line too small to display all choices. The user will need to scroll down to be able to select "more...", which is the last choice. It would be a better user experience not to have to scroll every time, as it gets annoying when adding a large number of torrents to different folders.

Note: tested on Windows only, V3.1.11.

Note to devs: the solution is probably setting minimumContentsLength of QComboBox to something bigger.

Addition: would it be possible to make the "Other" location a button next to that drop down, instead of making it one of the selection?

All of these are solved in git master already. A separate button is being used instead of "Other...".
Now all items fit in the dropdown menu.
You can try the latest alpha build for yourselves: http://qbforums.shiki.hu/index.php/topic,2344.msg15534.html#msg15534
