I cannot change the settings for autocompletion after nth character.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue
  1. Menu bar, click Settings
  2. click Preferences
  3. From the box of options on the left, click "Auto-Completion"
  4. In the top right of the dialogue box, there is a field to change when Auto-Completion suggestions are triggered. The field shows "From 1 th character".
  5. When I click "1" to change it to a different number, a text entry field appears. I am not able to input any number in this field.
  6. The setting is stuck at 1th.
