    Description

      When you click the 'new' button to create a new paragrpah on a page - and if that paragraph is able to be of more than one paragraph type - the admin user is presented with radio buttons with which to select the paragraph type they want to enter into the page.

      On selecting a radio button the screen immediately redraws to show the input fields for that paragraph type.

      This is unconventional UI behaviour: conventionally a selection is made from a set of radio buttons and then a button is clicked to submit that selection.

      I have observed users (especially on slower responding servers) selecting a radio button and then heading for the OK button in the bottom right hand corner of the window.

      I have also observed people selecting the wrong radio button and then trying to correct their selection - as they should be able to do - but it's too late: the page is already redrawing...

      I suggest that an 'Ok' button is added to this dialog and the JavaScript removed from the radio buttons.
