[Problem w/ White Balance w/ NEF file in Develop mode]

Have opened Nikon RAW file, NEF, from an older digital camera, E5700. While in RAW editor, prior to pressing develop, if i click on the White Balance option I get a messed up result. When I click off the WB option it goes to normal. using the sliders has no effect. All the other options appear to be working just fine.

 

However, once I develop the photo I can use the WB adjustment layer and it works just fine.

 

TIA,
