Tal, There is still issue here. When you have env with 3 storage domains and SD1 and SD2 has the template disk and you have a VM thinly copied on SD1 and you want to move the disk to SD3 which don't have a copy of the template's disk, you will not have the option to select it from the drop down list and the reason for that is still missing
Raz, the bug strictly refers to explaining a disabled and empty storage domain select box, if you think we should also notify about an available selection that does not contain a few storage domains that's another thing, you can open a separate bug for it and I'll add a notice probably at the bottom of the panel that lets the user know that not all the domains are available for that reason
