Short description of error
When I go to preferences and click on any toggle, like "emulate 3 button mouse", I'm not able to press save preferences for a few seconds, like the UI froze for some reason. This doesn't happen all the time, but can be reproduced reliably by closing and reopening the window/blender instance.
In the video, I'm repeatedly clicking on the save preferences but the UI is frozen for a duration until it unfreezes and highlights on hover.
(UPDATE: Turns out this is very localized to the "Save Preferences" button, but this means you can't save any changes till you move the window, which is super weird.)

I think I found the epicenter of this issue. There's a super weird thing happening where the preferences window remains frozen when you open it until you click and move the window, then it suddenly unfreezes and everything works fine. I tested this by closing and restarting blender several times and doing it right after it launches and got the same result every time.
Here's a video showing the issue.
