After Mattias' comments, figured out that you are clearly talking about
a different window. Thanks for letting knowing that. For those
interested, the window in question can be found by going to "Project
Options"/"Compiler Options"/"Other" and then click on "All Options ..."
button in the Custom Options panel.

Comments:
- there is a horizontal scroll bar but several strings are simply cut off
- can't specify multiple -Oo optimizations.
- -Oo options disappear when clicking on "All Options ..." again.
Independent if you leave the [No] in the option or not
- no support for spaces in the -o, -l options or any other option taking
a path or filename. Adding quotes doesn't change this behavior.
- FreeBSD is missing from the targets
- you can check mutually exclusive settings such as all the -M options
- for one reason or another, vertical scrolling with the scroll bar is
very jumpy. As if the cpu is running at 100%. This is not the case
though, "only" 2 cores of an i7 at 40%.
- -Cf options are not split up, you can only select
-CfSSE64,SSE3,SSSE3,SSE41,SSE42,AVX
