A bit of history of how this came about: The select button used to be the only way to select a vendor. Originally you couldn't type anything in the box. That was even more burdensome. Then directly typing a vendor name (and selecting it in the dropdown list) was added, which was in many cases a big improvement. The select button wasn't removed as sometimes you don't know the exact vendor name (different prefix or something), or you need to enter a new one. Both options are still possible via the select button. I do agree the halfway fix is not perfect and can cause some confusion.
