I just noticed that this is in bugzilla #617 as a enhancement request. 
This is one of those things that's either a bug, or an enhancement 
request, depending if you are an engineer or a user. I suppose first 
one has to believe that usability issues can be bugs. I believe they 
can be.

There have been 10 enhancement requests and 29 bugs filed on 
Distribution Builder. Of the enhancements, 5 are LATER/postponed. 1 is 
FIXED. 2 WONT. 2 TBD.
