Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:2 anonym]:
 > I agree that the proper fix is something like #7467. However it seems
 nothing has happened with that ticket in the past 17 months so I believe
 we need a short-term fix in Tor Launcher. It's unclear to me whether you
 are contesting that.

 I was just trying to obtain a better understanding of the work that is
 currently underway.  I now agree that we need a short-term fix of some
 kind.  TBB 3.6b2 suffers from this bug:  if someone tries to set a proxy
 without even looking at the bridges portion of the Tor Launcher UI, they
 will see an error like:
 {{{
 Unable to save Tor settings.

 Unacceptable option value: You have configured more than one proxy type.
 (Socks4Proxy|Socks5Proxy|HTTPSProxy|ClientTransportPlugin)
 }}}

 Unfortunately, it this is a messy thing to add to Tor Launcher.  Kathy and
 I will take a look at what you did.
