--
Edit -> Preferences -> Name Resolution -> SMI (MIB and PIB) paths: Edit -> New
A dialog box opens showing "Directory path:" and a dropdown box. When the box
is open, the "New" button used to open it becomes grayed out.

1. Clicking the dropdown box immediately reduces its size a bit. Solution:
Initiate the correct width of the box upon its initialization.

2. If i close the dialog box with the X button rather than with the cancel
button, the "New" button in the previous window remains grayed out. If i use
the "Cancel" button, it is usable again. Solution: re-enable the "New" button
for any reason of the new dialog ending, or just disable the window until the
new dialog is released (i prefer that from the UX point of view).

3. In any way, after pressing "New" or "Delete" (that rises additional dialog)
and without closing this new dialog box you close the current window "Edit ->
Preferences -> Name Resolution -> SMI (MIB and PIB) paths: Edit", then the new
dialog window still remains and will even actively perform the required task.
Solution: same as above - the current window that rises a dialog box should
just be inaccessible until the dialog is closed.
