I thought about it for a bit but I think it's not the right thing to do. The via diameter/drill were setup as pairs of dimensions, they should be used a such. Otherwise one could select a larger drill than via diameter which would be weird for predefined values (one can always enter the values by hand to get the effect ;-). Anyway, I also experimented with the implementation of such a behaviour, I don't think it can be made to work. The problem is in updating the dropbox itself to a different value than is in its value list. This leads to the control resetting its internal position in the value list which makes scrolling by up/down key through the values impossible. I have no idea what weird behaviour could emerge on Windows or Mac. That is ultimately the reason there is now a standard dropdown list to select from.
