Bug Description

There should be a dropdown button (like the back button in browsers, where the user gets a dropdown menu of previously visited pages).

Use cases are in LaunchSPG for selecting:
- Tribe
- Win condition
- Type of AI / Human Player
- Team number

This is not the same as listselect from ui_basic?

There's a difference. A listselect is a area with some lines where you can select from. A dropdown button is a button which pops up a list if you click on it.

I don't know if the use case listed in the original bug report is realistic, however having a dropdown controller would be neat. I guess the prime example is tribe selection which is currenlty implemented as a single button you click multiple times. While it works, many users will not be familiar with or expect buttons to change values like this. A dropdown on the other hand is much clearer at communicating that there is a selected value but other options are available too.

I agree with #4. The tribe selection is a bit strange.

Was this bug marked for sweeping for the second time intentionally?

Sweeping comes around whenever the bug has not had any changes for X days.

The use case with multiple enhancements for the buildings as stated by OP is no longer there. Another use case would be selecting the win conditions or the AI type.
