It is correct, because as custom boot is selected only partition which is not root and is bootable. Software raid type is in perl-Bootloader selected as non-bootable (bootable is only fsid 5,6,11-15,130,131). So problem is in metadata. Do you think that we can suggest md_raid device as boot?

The bugreport says "combobox too small".

I was unable to manually edit the settings in that editable combobox (see the screenshot - Custom Boot Partition) because I just didn't see what I was writing there. There should be a minimal width somehow defined in that widget.

The bugreport doesn't say anything about suggested values, just about the size of a widget and frankly, I don't know if an md_raid device can be used and /boot.

The fix will be added in yast2-bootloader 2.17.22
