I was being a bit sarcastic in comment 22. I don't want people to modify the
interface with javascript. I want the interface to be reasonable and usable to
all people. For the same reason I don't want user preferences to trigger subtle
changes in the interface (Otherwise we would have 10 billion prefs, and
usability should not be a preference, etc).

I also do not want to force people to use an interface they are not happy with.
However at the same time it is unclear if the change suggested (making it a
single line for everyone) would make more or less people unhappy. Thus I feel
such a change should be done cautiously.

Similarly, I am not neccesarily opposed to making the box one line, adding a
drop down for an auto-reason, and having some extra whitespace between the
reason fields and the move target field. I think such an approach may possibly
make everyone happy. Or perhaps it won't. I suppose we should make mock-ups and
talk to the users and so on.
