I understand what you say, but I think most newcomers to OpenERP could 
still be confused by this dropdown that is never used.

Fair enough, it certainly can wait for later.

'Dropdown box; in State should be removed

Status in OpenObject Web Client: Triaged

Bug description:
Using Trunk, CRM, Opportunities

A usability annoyance is where in the State in CRM shows dropdown box, but you cannot alter it, ie it does not actually work as a drop down.

To Replicate

1) Click Sales -> Opportunities
2) Click '3rd Round Funding - 1000 Units' demo opportunity.
3) Select Edit, and you can see the State as Draft with a dropdown symbol. You actually click 'Open' to open.

A developer who had not seen Open ERP before tried clicking on it today here, and thought it was bad design which I agree with ..
