Improved Selection Page

When creating a new issue I always instinctively try to click in the box area of one of the templates to select them, only to notice that I have to click the button on the right side (which is also not optimally named, "Getting Started" sounded like a link to documentation/a tutorial on how to use this. I think something along the lines of "Use Tempate" would be clearer.)

I think it would be more comfortable to be able to select anywhere inside the box to select the template (see yellow area in the first screenshot). Alternatively, it would be nice to be able to click the name of the template at least.

Also consider adding a headline so the user knows where he landed, like "New Issue Template Selection" or so.

Issue Page

I would also suggest the addition of a Template section on the right where you can see which template was selected (and possibly the ability to change it, see second screenshot.) This could even replace the Template Selection page completely, leading the user to the New Issue page directly after clicking the "New Issue" button. When I first added the templates I was a bit confused that this is a separate page to the issue, to be honest.

Could also be made a configuration option, depending on how prominent admin wants the templates to be presented.
