Comment (by gk):

 Two additional bugs I found and was able to reproduce:

 1) Say you want to use custom bridges. BridgeDB gives usually three of
 those out. So, the natural thing to do is to select, copy and paste those
 three lines. However, they are pasted into the _one_ line we have on the
 custom bridge view. The hint that one needs to have one bridge per line is
 a good one. But there is no way to get there with the three bridges copied
 and pasted. What we need to have here is a multiline textbox instead, I
 think.

 2) Assuming you are running with the one custom bridge you configured
 during 1) and select the gear icon on the start view you'll get informed
 that you are running Tor Browser with a custom bridge with the link to
 change that. That's good. However, that does not help me if I want to fall
 back to a built-in bridge because clicking the change-link only gets me to
 the custom bridge input field. So, if I want to use a built-in bridge
 instead I have to first disable using bridges altogether just to reenable
 them later on and change the custom bridge type I want. That's a bit
 cumbersome...
