TLDR

This PR fixes a bug in the settings dialog where resetting a setting to its default value did not update the UI to reflect the change.

Dive Deeper

When a user modified a setting and then changed the setting bellow it, the UI would reset the previous setting to it's default state.

This change removes the unnecessary refresh of pending settings after a reset, ensuring that the UI correctly displays the set setting.

Reviewer Test Plan

  1. Run gemini settings
  2. Modify a setting (e.g., change the theme).
  3. Modify a setting below it.
  4. *Verify that the setting's values stayed changed
  5. Save the settings and ensure the value is persisted.

Linked issues / bugs

When a setting is reset, the pending settings were being refreshed from the saved state, which would cause the UI to not reflect the reset value. This change removes the refresh, so that the pending settings now reflect the reset value.

Summary of Changes

Hello @galz10, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request resolves a user interface inconsistency within the settings dialog. Previously, when a user reset a setting to its default, the UI would not correctly display this change, especially if another setting was subsequently modified. The core of the fix involves removing a redundant state refresh operation that was inadvertently causing the UI to revert the display of the reset setting, thereby enhancing the reliability and accuracy of the settings management experience.

Highlights

  • Bug Fix: Addresses a bug in the settings dialog where resetting a setting to its default value did not correctly update the UI to reflect the change.
  • UI Consistency: Ensures that the user interface of the settings dialog accurately displays the state of settings after they have been reset.
  • Code Refinement: Removes an unnecessary setPendingSettings call that was inadvertently causing the UI to revert the display of a reset setting.

Code Review

This pull request aims to fix a bug in the settings dialog where resetting a setting would discard other pending changes. The change correctly removes the line that was resetting the entire pendingSettings state. However, this fix is incomplete and introduces a new bug: the UI no longer updates to show that a setting has been reset to its default value. My review includes a critical comment with a suggested fix to correctly update the pendingSettings state for only the reset setting, which resolves both issues.

lets add a test so we don't regress this. allowing users to be confident that their settings aren't corrupted is crucial.
