Version:	5.2 r4753	OS:	Any
Assigned to:	Mike Lischke	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
In the advanced configuration settings, the "SQL Mode" text field has an associated button which opens a file chooser, and populates this field with the path selected.

Since "SQL Mode" doesn't take a path, this should not be here.

How to repeat:
Look at advanced configuration options.

Suggested fix:
Eliminate associated button.

Other questionable fields with the same associated button:

Advanced tab:
* Default collation
* Max write lock count
* Max seeks for key
* Delay key write
* Run as user
* Bind to IP
* Chroot
* Init connect

Replication tab:
* Skip the following errors
* Initial commands
* Initial replication role
[ all of the slave replication objects section ]
[ all of the slave identification section ]

there's lots more, just running out of time.

Fixed in 5.2

fixed in repository, will be included in 5.2.9

An entry has been added to the 5.2.9 changelog:

In the Advanced tab of the Admin screen, the checkbox SQL Mode had an erroneous file chooser button associated with it. The button should not have been there.
