When entering the track name, if you hit ESC instead of clicking off of the box, the info entered into the box will show BUT the setting doesn't appear to be set and the takes do not increment. If you exit and reopen the settings window, the info in the Track Name box might flicker or might show solid. Clicking the box, re-entering the info, then clicking off the box resolved the issue.
I believe we encounter this same issue sometimes when assigning the keyboard shortcuts.
