Hi, this works for me with 21.12.1. Could you try it with a recent version? I think there was some regression in the past (and even some crash/invalid memory usage) in that dialog.
This bug persists. 1. click in 'Sessions' menu and choose 'Manage sessions...' 2. click on any of the following buttons: Open... Open as Template Duplicate... Rename... Delete Result: nothing happens. The buttons work when a session is selected. If the buttons require that a session to be selected, they should remain greyed out until a session is selected.

How do you even get to the state where nothing is selected?
I just follow the steps from comment 2.
Do you have any sessions listed in the dialog?

It helps if all the details are mentioned or you can just do a screen recording when reporting UI bugs as minor differences in settings/state can make the bug disappear.
