It appears that the way the client configures aspect ratio has changed in 1.7.

In 1.6, FULLSCREEN ASPECT RATIO was configured with a text entry box. It allowed numbers to be typed in. The new method of entry seems to be choosing a ratio from a drop-down list.

Right now, it appears that the client crashes if you attempt to type a number instead of choosing from the dropdown. I hope that gets fixed. The UI should, at worst, ignore attempts to enter a number, not crash.
