You have to enter the bug first, then once you have entered the
bug you can set the milestone. (Click on "Back to bug #nnnn")

(The reason for this, is that the milestone is conceptually for the
GTK+ maintainers, so typically we don't want reporters setting it for
things like "I can't compile GTK+.")

But actually, check first. I'm pretty sure there is a bug report
for the ComboBox already.
