Possible Fix / #4460

One thing we did to possibly fix this on our local copy was to decide that any and all new tasks created had to start and remain in New status until someone edited the task and changed the status.

We modified file "task_more.inc.php" line "542" to reflect "if(($s >= STATUS_NEW && $task->id!=0) || ($s == STATUS_NEW && $task->id==0)) {" from "if($s >= STATUS_NEW) {"

This allows people editing a task to see all status and anyone creating a task to only see NEW in the drop down.
