Description
If you have a project open and create a new layer, QGIS will always use "EPSG:4326 - WGS 84" by default.
Please change it so that the current projection of the project is selected instead.
For example if the project is "EPSG: 3413", the New Vector Layer or New Spatialite Layer dialogs should select that by default.

Set default layer CRS according to behaviour radio (fix #11889)
Makes the new layer dialogs correctly respect the current project
CRS choice when set to follow project CRS.

it does not uses always "EPSG:4326 - WGS 84" by default, it is supposed to use what is configured in
settings -> options -> CRS > CRS for new layers
the problem is that it still doesn't work when that options is set to "use project CRS".

Hi,
I've tracked the bug down in current development master [eb6332f]. The problem is that src/gui/qgsnewvectorlayerdialog.cpp:88 reads /Projections/layerDefaultCrs from settings but that value is set in /src/app/qgsoptions.cpp:1198 always from LayerDefaultCombo - those labeled as "Use a default CRS". You can verify easily - select some CRS in that combo, select "Use project CRS" radio button and create new shapefile layer - it will use value from disabled "Use a default CRS" combo
I believe setting /Projections/layerDefaultCrs should be handled in the block of code before - from correct combo according to selected radio. I will be able to make a PR on GitHub, but I am not sure what value to set when prompt option is chosen - maybe fallback to default GEO_EPSG_CRS_AUTHID?
I am quite new in this codebase, can anyone offer a feedback on this to me?

please raise the question on the developers mailing list and after getting feedback create the PR, thanks.

Question on developer list raised (http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-developer/2015-January/036560.html), it seems to go unnoticed. Nonetheless I've created the PR https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/1896

We've also been experiencing this bug in 2.8 and 2.10 - can a developer look at the PR and check whether it's worth applying to 2.12 ?

Still present in 2.16. Not having time to update old PR - code moved on too far..
