If I have a custom (manager) theme, and then try to create a document, when I choose an empty template the page refreshes as expected, but the default theme is applied rather than my custom (manager) theme.
Is this a bug? And if it is, am I posting in the correct place?

What version of MODX are you using?
Older versions of MODX (Revo 2.2.2-pl iirc) had a date_timezone issue with php, mySQL and server time that prevented template switching. There's a fix, but it's faster to update MODX.
In the meantime, try using the right click quick option, that should allow you to change the template and save.
Using 2.2.7-pl, but noticed it on 2.2.6-pl also.
Cheers for the Rightclick->Quick Create tip

Well then, try checking your php timezone. This sounds just like the problem we were having with 2.2.2 last summer. Especially if the right click works.
In the manager, system settings search for "timezone". Set your local time with the php timezone. i.e. America/Los_Angeles
This should match your php timezone, but if not, edit php.ini and use the same timezone as you used for the system settings. (again, search for "timezone")
Seems strange that it would still exist in 2.2.7, but perhaps something didn't go right with the upgrades.

Actually, I mean set the php.ini and system settings to match your server timezone. Sorry, local timezone may or may not be accurate for you if your server is in a different timezone.
Yeah they're both set to Pacific/Auckland -- However, the theme still reverts to the MODx default when an empty template is selected.
It's not a major problem, just aesthetic.

But right click works? Hmmm...
Is there a theme/template set in the CMP?
Can you change to another template other than empty?
To fix it in the interim, I've overridden the default manager template with my own theme.
