Set a metronome to 1000 ms. Open the Inspector. The interval can be edited/changed in ms. But selecting samples or ticks from the units menu does not convert the ms value to the new units -- the value still shows in ms but with the menu selected as "samples" or "ticks". Editing the value again reverts the menu to "ms".

Applies to delay as well as presumably other objects using Time attributes.

I expected that changing the menu would convert ms to samples, and so on. Has it always worked this way?

Is the following expected behaviour?

I'm guessing so. You might want to use sampstoms~ or mstosamps~ instead if you want to make that conversion.
