Description
On the options menu, under the "CRS" tab, there are two boxes to select the CRS.
If I go into either of these, they have a "recently used CRS" box at the top with a list of CRSs I've used recently. However clicking on these CRSs doesn't do anything. Only clicking on the ones in the bottom box ("CRSs of the world") does anything.
This is in contrast to when I go to a individual layer and specify the CRS for that; on that CRS selector the "Recently used CRS" box does select the specified CRS as I'd expect it to.

Not confirmed here with master and Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit.
What version are you using? what OS?
Updated by Jonathan Moules 9 months ago
Windows XP (32bit) running 1.8.0.1.
I've tested it some more and it seems to be an intermittent bug.
If there are two coordinate systems in the recent list (I just had one), then clicking on one does nothing (i.e., this bug), but then if you click the /other/ one, it starts working as desired. Doesn't matter what the coordinate systems are by the seems of it, or what order they're clicked, just that the first one clicked won't work, but all later clicks will.

If it was for personal use, I probably would, but I'd rather not because I'm investigating QGIS for corporate use, so rather obviously want to stick to using a stable version. Sorry!

Not sure I understand. Not sure either that this was an issue that was already fixed in the master version. This is how it works (do not expect fixes to be backported). Anyway I tested also under Windows and it works ok too for me.
Just to allow close the ticket (or leave it open) can you test this at home? :) cheers!

I tried to install QGIS 1.9.0.52 I think it was from home using the "OSGeo4W Installer". Unfortunately when I tried to run QGIS it gave me a "QGIS_core.dll not found" error and wouldn't start. This was a completely clean install onto a system that had never had qgis installed on it before. Anyway, this means I can't test it.
However if you can't replicate the issue in master I'd suggest just closing the ticket. I'll reopen it if I encounter it again in a later stable release. Thanks.

The issue you are hitting is not a QGIS one: you another sw that made it wrong when installing by placing that .dll in a system folder like system32 and so contributing to the called "dll hell." Look for such file into your system, rename it and then qgis will start.

Sorry. I've now tried at least five times to install QGIS-master and it always fails/doesn't work. I can only run pre-packaged stable builds. As such I can't test this in master.

Confirmed that it still happens in master. Clicking the top reference filter does nothing.
