Why would you want to change it there? (and not via the gui)

You have two possibilities:
1) add the following line to your torrc to get an additional SOCKSPort:
SOCKSPort 9150

or

2) Goto TorBirdy's Proxy Settings and choose 'Use custom proxy settings'
(this is what you did and I suppose it works)


We are aware of the "issue" and this will change in the future.
