 Description   

It's a bit clunky to add a new component to a page or a form. This is partly due to the fact that the Add Component dialog shows a single line dropdown, which requires an unnecessary click to open it to reveal the options.

Possible improvements:
A. Instead of a single line dropdown - use a select control with 12 rows visible.
B. Instead of opening a dialog at all, when user clicks on + of edit bar - display an Action popup with the list of possible components.
