RC-1 rectangular selection tool: why is the numeric enter field disabled if fixed size is selected?

The RC-1 rectangular selection tool has numeric fields disabled if "fixed" checkbox is checked. So one need to uncheck it in order to enter new value and then check it again. Why is it made so? Is it possible to have ability to type new value numerically and see the result dynamically without need to uncheck - check the checkbox. This does not prevent fixing mouse behavior for changing actual fixed aspects.

Hello

The Fixed: Size option does not fix the current size, it enforces the size specified in the Fixed: Size entry below.

Because of this, it does not make sense to uncheck the Fixed: Size checkbox, change Width and Height, and check it again. If you want a specific Width or Height, you should specify that in the Fixed: Size entry.

There is currently a discussion going on what would be good default values for this entry (the RC1 always have 100x100), so you might wanna hook on.
