Selecting a dotted half note and pressing Ctrl+6 produces a tuplet of 6 1/8 notes. Giving a ratio of 1/1 (or 6/6) in the "other" dialog gives a tuplet of 3 1/4 notes which can filled with 6 1/8 notes.

It seems like the formula ND = TD / r2 would work better since it would get 6 eighth notes for a 6:6 tuplet. A 1:1 ratio would give a tuplet with a single dotted half-note.

However the current behavior of 3 quarter notes is fine and works--it is just a little unexpected.
