Bug ID: 475061
Summary: System Settings ignoring failsafe timeout if window is
closed before time expires.
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.27.8
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor

SUMMARY
***
System Settings ignoring failsafe timeout if window is closed before time
expires.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open display settings.
2. Adjust a setting that uses a timeout failsafe to revert changes if the
applied changes break the system and the user is unable to interact with
settings window within the timeout period.
3. Close the display settings window before the timeout period expires.
OBSERVED RESULT
When the window is closed, the changes appear to be permanently saved.
EXPECTED RESULT
The changes should be reverted, as the user did not approve the applied changes
during the failsafe timeout period. If the window is accidentally closed,
crashes, the desktop environment restarts, or the system is shut down; then it
should revert to the last known-good settings, instead of potentially trapping
the user in a misconfigured or unusable system.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Note that the video example shows a different issue with OBS recording the
cursor position incorrectly after the resolution change. It is unrelated to
this bug report. However, it can be used to show the resolution was changed and
did not revert after the window closed.
