Summary0001925: Preferences not kept well
DescriptionWhen preferences are set, it is apparently not saved until the software is exited normally, so in case of a crash or a hang after which you have to force close the application, a change in preferences is reset to the old one.

I ran into this issue with the Part Design > Shape View > Maximium deviation... setting; haven't tested with others but expect it to be the same.

Solution: store preferences the moment they are changed, or the moment the Preferences window is closed, not when the application is closed.
Steps To ReproduceChange a preference in the Edit>Preferences window.
Use software until it crashes or until it hangs and do a force close, or simply kill the application forcefully.
Restart application.
Preference change is not kept.

Change again, now close the application normally, and the preference is stored.

Having a "Save" button as option in Preferences, or have the Apply button write out the settings would be a good option here.
