[7.0/trunk]: Unable to create new view

User Interface > Views

Unable to create new view, save always fails (silently). Required [View Type] field is inaccessible/hidden due to readonly not being unset.

Problem is ../addons/base/ir/ir_ui_view_view.xml

<!-- View -->
<record id="view_view_form" model="ir.ui.view">
 <field name="model">ir.ui.view</field>
 <field name="arch" type="xml">
  <form string="Views" version="7.0">
   <sheet>
    <group>
     <group>
      <field name="name"/>
      <field name="type"/> --fix--> <field name="type" readonly="0"/>
      <field name="model"/>
      <field name="priority"/>

With current 7.0 branch, rev no 5117 this bug can still be found.

Although I *can* create & save new views, the Type field is still read-only when rendered to the form view.

This is causing confusion with users, as seen in this help question: <help.openerp.com/question/32361/why-cannot-i-create-form-view-using-the-interface/>

The fix in lp:~openerp-dev/openobject-server/trunk-bug-1103788-jir doesn't seem to have made it to a release yet.
