[Qgis-user] Project CRS doesn't update when layer is added

[Karl-Magnus Jönsson]

Hi!
I've just tried this in 2.16. In Settings -> Options -> CRS there are three options for new projects. With the two first options, don’t enable and automatically enable on the fly reprojections, I get the project to change from the default CRS set in the dropdown just below. I don't remember witch option that is default from installation.

Ämne: [Qgis-user] Project CRS doesn't update when layer is added

I recently updated to QGIS 2.16. As I recall, previous version behavior was for CRS to change to the CRS of the first layer added to the project. This doesn't seem to be happening anymore. Project CRS defaults to WGS 84 (EPSG:4326) for a new project and remains that when I add a layer that uses a different CRS.

Is this (a) an intentional change, (b) a bug, or (c) not new behavior and I am misremembering the way it used to be?

QGIS 2.16.3
Linux Mint 18
Installed from http://qgis.org/ubuntugis repository

Best,
