[TYPO3-irre] Create new relation does nothing

I am using the latest most current SVN trunk. Unfortunately I get
rejections when applying the patch. Maybe it's because there are already
some code changes inside.

$value) {
                                                if(strpos($value, 'NEW')

I am using this already. There is no JavaScript error or warning.
Only CSS:

I could apply this patch partly. Now there is a reaction on 'Create new
relation' and it really creates a new record with some default settings
which seem to be the same what has recently entered.

Thanks for this info. I still wonder what the 'Create new relation'
does. But maybe its because of the pach rejections.
The select box always shows the first entry. But the second record is
shown.
If you could provide a patch against SVN I will test it and give you
feedback.
