BUG: Quickstart drive combo boxes + multi-image archives

Bug in WinUAE 1.4.1, first introduced in 1.4.0.

There's a bug in the behaviour of the drive combo boxes on the Quickstart page. It doesn't seem to affect the Floppy Drives page.

When you try to select an image within an archive containing multiple images, at first it appears to work, but when the focus moves away from the combo box a different image is selected. I've attached a demo ZIP (it's only 6KB). It's particularly obvious when you start with an unbooted virtual Amiga and use all unbootable images (they're all blank in the ZIP) because you get the "...floppy disk image is not bootable..." dialog twice.

BTW there are two exceptions to the above behaviour. It doesn't happen on the very first use of the combo after starting WinUAE, and secondly, when you try to select the uppermost sub-image in the combo - sometimes it works, sometimes it does nothing. (but doesn't subsequently select the wrong one)

Also I'd like to ask... is there any neater (existing) way to deal with multi-image archives than using the Most Recently Used combos? (which contain up to 99 items!) Any keyboard shortcuts?

None except <path>\#<number of file> "path shortcut"
