    A user has noted that when they try to transfer a QWK packet, it displays the menu for selecting a protocol but always automatically fills in the default and doesn't allow them to change it. This is a bit confusing for the user so they reported it as a bug.

    I tend to agree there is no point in displaying the menu to pick a protocol if they're not going to be able to pick a protocol.

    Not sure if this is by design or not so thought I'd seek some clarity as to what's supposed to happen

    It's by design. The user has chosen their default file transfer protocol ('Z' apparently in this case). Have them disable their default file transfer protocol if they don't want it to be automatically selected like this.
