(2.8.12 - 2649) can't change sample rate

[ioannis]

Hmm, problem came back in AP.

If I click below left in the open file window to change Sampling rate & depth
the depth parameter changes as expected, but the rate not. Choosing any of the various rates listed on the drop-down menu doesn't change the rate (either below left or as seen at the blue "info" button above right).
The chosen value also doesn't appear in the field "Sampling Rate" of the little dialogue window...
In the preferences I've set the standard at 48kH/24b

NB: the previous version worked fine immediately after reinstalling, but then it somehow got corrupted again.
No drama, but it spares the trouble of quickly using another app to just chanfge the sampling rate.

Strange!

In the "number, dates and time" system settings, do you happen to have selected periods "." as the separator for thousands? It looks like this confuses the system widget managing the drop-down menu, which may well be an operating system bug as far as I can tell... Changing it to spaces or commas should work.

oh yes. I do use periods... and indeed it works fine if I turn it to commas
Thanks!
