Second panel where user enters Project name and home dir for that project contains checkbox "Use recomended location". After unchecking it only button Browse is enabled, but the text field is still greyed and disabled. It should be enabled to type actuall location from keyboard.
See issue 27689 . There was code in there to enable the textfield but it was commented out; I think because there are a lot of problems in this area. I've had a discussion with Vita about this and for now we're going to remove the checkbox. See the above referenced issue for reasons why it's broken.
"Fixed"; the checkbox has been removed. The project file will now always reside in the project home directory. The code is still there and can be easily reactivated once reference points are available and we can make this (project files separate from project homes) work correctly.
