Code:
vmbr2: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 9000
        inet 192.168.169.210  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 0.0.0.0

why after network configuration from UI broadcast is 0.0.0.0? must be 192.168.169.255

From your post we can not see the reason.

Has your last change been applied?

Please post cat /etc/network/interfaces and the full output of ip address show...
 
Code:
cat /etc/network/interfaces

Actually I must admit I did not notice "ifconfig" but read "ip" - my fault.

I am sure everything is fine her, it looks the same on my boxes.

Not sure why "ifconfig" reports "0.0.0.0". The deprecation of "net-tools" (which contains ifconfig) was discussed since 2009... ( https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2009/03/msg00780.html )
