Yes, there's a bug, but easy to work around.  If you still want to use
network manager, when you are entering your static IP information in the
"Gateway box" Press "Enter" key when you've entered the address, rather
than clicking out of it.  If I click or tab somewhere else, the changes
don't stick, but if I press Enter, they are entered correctly.
