Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce with LyX 2.2.3 on OS X 10.12.5. However, there is some differing behavior I experience which might explain why you see different things. When I do NOT have a document open, I can tweak a preference, Apply, Save, and all is well. This is also the behavior I'd expect relative to my next point. When I do have a document open, I can tweak a preference, Apply, *the dialog window goes to the background*, I retrieve the dialog, Save, and all is well. I wonder if someone can track down why the dialog focus changes depending on whether a document is open or not.
