Created attachment 227428 [details] screenshot of Choose Branch dialog 1. Go to the Repository page for some repo. 2. Click the "Push All" button. (If you're on a tracking branch, a prompt will appear -- click the "More" button if you see it.) 3. Now you're at the Choose Branch dialog. See screenshot. The initial state of this dialog is problematic. Initially, no remote is selected, so the "New Branch" field is disabled. This makes it seem like the field is broken. It's especially confusing because the first remote in the list has focus indicator (light blue), but not selection (beige). Despite being a regular Orion user, my brain didn't process this distinction at first. To *actually* select a remote, you must click it or use the keyboard. Once you've done that, the New Branch field becomes enabled. Perhaps the first remote in the list should be selected initially -- that way the New Branch field would be enabled at the state and this would be less confusing.
