Switching settings really fast causes bad settings writes

[danirabbit]

What Happened?

If you switch between app settings really fast it can cause the wrong settings to be written to the wrong apps

Steps to Reproduce

1. Switch between apps really fast for example using the keyboard in the sidebar
2. Notice that some apps have permissions that don't make sense for that app or have been overridden by a neighbor app

Expected Behavior

We probably need to set up a cancellable and make sure we don't try to return values when the page changes

For me, with a fresh install I grabbed Nimbus and granted it location access. I don't even have to change applications quickly for it to also show location access in Music and Document Viewer (the two apps above it). Though strangely apps below it do not show it as is expected.

Additionally, but potentially unrelated, I just allowed location access to Web and it isn't showing that permission option?

@danirabbit sorry to necro this oldish issue, but it seemed interesting to me. How were you able to reproduce this back in the day? I made a recording of me clicking around as fast as I could and it looked like the correct settings were being loaded for a given application. Maybe this magically got fixed since the issue was opened?
