Batch Renamer: Unable to change file naming parameters

This is becoming a frustrating issue with the batch renamer - Currently I have no control on what I can change. There's no option to alter existing parameters eg reduce the number of digits in the sequence number, when I hit the + I get a copy of the existing parameter ie text however when I click the drop down menu I dont have the option to change it to sequence number. I've reset the preferences on startup of the app, Ctrl+Alt+Shift. Using Window 10 Pro. Seriously this should just work without faffing around with resetting preferences (which doesn't work!) Any help appreciated

This is a long-standing bug that has waited a long time with no fix yet.

 

There are two options:

1) revert back to an earlier version of Bridge

2) Use the Arrow keys to navigate around the dropdown menus.

 

Wish I could say more,

    For completeness, there is a 3rd option, which is not practical for 99.9% of users, which is to edit the underlying batch rename preset XML file.
