QGIS Georeferencer; CRS selector doesn't open, destination coords 0

Question

I've tried this in QGIS 2.14 LTR, 2.16 and 2.18, and a fresh install of 2.14 LTR on another PC.

My questions are:

How do I get the CRS selector dialog to open? When opening a raster image, I get no CRS selector dialog, as these two guides clearly show it should. Instead I get an internal error message "CRS was undefined: defaulting to project CRS". I can select the right CRS from the project properties, but the second issue is unchanged.
How do I make the georeferencer output destination coordinates? When adding control points in the Georeferencer, their coordinates just show 0.00. Predictably, the image will fail transformation.

Try Settings -> Options -> CRS -> CRS for new Layers set to Prompt for CRS — AndreJ, Dec 30, 2017 at 15:30

To answer my own questions;

How to get the CRS selector dialog to open? Settings -> Options -> CRS -> CRS for new Layers -> Prompt for CRS. Thanks to AndreJ for the solution.
How to make the georeferencer output destination coordinates? The map provider—which can convert the old KKJ Finland coordinates to newer coordinate systems—outputs coordinates as xxxxxxx,000. Apparently the decimal mark should have been a point, not a comma.
