Hi Wayne,

All good here, both after changing the rules and reloading the board.

Speaking of changing track width to a custom value - you may find
helpful 'Track & via properties' dialog in GAL. Select tracks that you
want to modify (perhaps using U or I hotkeys or context menu
Select->trivial/copper connection) and press 'E'/pick properties from
context menu to modify width for all selected tracks.

Regards,
Orson
