Revolution: System Setting grid filter boxes are not labeled

Except for the "Search by Key" box, there's no way to tell what the other boxes contain.

Hoverhelp is probably the best solution.

"Filter by Namespace"
"Filter by Area"

@Ibochkarev, They only say that some of the time. I just fired up 2.7.1 and they look like this:
SystemSettingsGrid

Even in your photo, there's no way to know that the first box is for selecting a namespace.

Let us try to avoid adding more stuff that does not work on mobile devices. Put a label on top is the best option imo.

Both boxes have a not 'valid' initial selection. 'core' means all namespaces and 'None (?)' means all areas. So it would be better to show a placeholder value instead of the wrong selection.

@BobRay In the current state there are descriptions inside the boxes.

The whole ExtJS code of those dropdowns could be refactored in combination with the processors. Default values are not used as default etc. It looks like someone tried to bypass something in a wrong way at the first sight.
