Changing 'display numbers' crashes Language Support

[Tim Peeters]

In Ubuntu 16.04, go to System Settings > Language Support > Regional Formats, and change the value of 'Display numbers'. This crashes Regional Formats.

Reproduced on different computers. One that was upgraded from 14.04, and the other with a clean 16.04 installation.

Here it doesn't crash, but rather the window gets disabled, shows a waiting mouse pointer and stays that way indefinitely. I can close the window and it'll be as if nothing happened.

Can you please open a terminal window, start Language Support from there (with the gnome-language-selector command), switch to "Regional Formats" and try to change the setting. Then, if it does not work, please copy the resulting output from the terminal window and paste it as a comment here. That might give us a hint of what's going on.
