Just glanced at this today. It's a little difficult to see just what's
going on here. I assume the difference is the "Advanced Version
Selection" box at the top of the chooser.
If I have it checked, it looks like behaving as it has been - the
versions spin thru different levels plus uninstall, source, keep. I
don't see anything "advanced" there.
If I have it cleared, in "Partial" view the versions don't spin; in
"Full" view I'm not sure - they spin then stick at a particular version
I think.
Nothing happy here, IMHO
