We intend to only backport fixes and not bugs. ;)

You were always supposed to select the key column - preselecting the first
column was the bug (also debatable).  And #11317 is a ticket that demonstrates
there were unaware users.

That the first column often happens to be the primary key and and the combobox
is not lexically sorted is somewhat pure luck - and unless you avoid having the
key verified (using "use estimated metadata"), keeping a wrongly select
column will make the layer to insert invalid.

But I agree that the tooltip that you get on disabled lines (not only for the
key selection, but also geometry type and srid) might not be visible enough
(but that IMHO would be just a GUI enhancement).
