Hi! Are you sure this is a duplicate?

I found the report you mentioend before I submitted my own, but that is in relation to the "system theme" changing. I interpreted this to mean that this is in the case of changing the "theme" of your operating system which can interact with web browsers and preference for dark/light mode.

This report is for a different thing, regarding changing user preferences, not system preferences.

User preferences are tied to the system theme preference which comes with a light theme as default.
