Properties - Components are Disabled
Status: Inactive

The Components under the "Component" tab in the properties dialog box are diabled/greyed out when the item is first selected.
If you "Cancel" out of the Properties dialog and re-open the Properties dialog the Components are now enabled.
No changes in data, just re-opening the properties box seems to re-enable everything.
This is a work around but it would be rather confusing the the novice istool user to do this.
I had the same problem. I circumvented it by adding the component flag to all lines and then opening the iss in Istool. Once there was already a checkbox in the components tab under properties, I could change the selected component. However, assigning components to unflagged files still didn't work.
Seckwielen's solution only works for me if I use "Ok" to close the properties tab. Using cancel as he describes has no effect.
I have this problem also in tabs "Tasks" and "Languages"
