Description

Hey guys,

I think there's a problem with the 1.9.0-beta version: While I can choose the port for my Nano in 1.8.10 properly, the port-field is greyed out in 1.9.0-beta, so I can't even choose another port.

Research direction

Reproduce the greyed-out port field with an Arduino Nano in IDE 1.9.0-beta, then compare the same device in IDE 1.8.10. Done means identifying why port selection differs and restoring the ability to choose another port.
