White Balance recall in Studio preset broken:

[AN 2x4]

White Balance recall broken:

When loading a preset that has a specific white balance, the white balance UI shows the recalled settings, but the actual white balance value is set to whatever the previous white balance was manually set to. The only thing fully accurately recalled is whether White Balance is on or off. So if a preset is recalled that has a white balance set, the UI shows the saved white balance, but the actual white balance value is still what the last specifically set value was. If you click the up or down arrow on the white balance number, you will see the slider and the number jump to the actual white balance being used. 

Example:

Load RAW image
Set white balance to 2400K
Load a preset with a white balance set to 4500K
White Balance check box will be set, number and slider will read 4500K, but White balance will be set to 2400K, the last manually set value.
Typing a value in the white balance number field is ignored
Click the up or down arrow next to the number, and it will jump to the actual value of 2400K (plus or minus the arrow you clicked)
