1. When a workspace other than the default is selected, clicking the Settings button or selecting Preferences from the menu opens the Preferences tab in the default workspace. However, the active workspace does not switch accordingly.
2. Open the Preferences tab, make some changes, and click Reset All Preferences. Then select Save & Reload Later. While the changes are correctly applied in the backend, they are not reflected in the currently open tab. A manual refresh or closing and reopening of the Preferences tab is needed to see the updates.
3. In the Preferences tab, go to Browser → Display, change any one toggle setting, and click Save. The setting is saved successfully. However, after this, attempting to toggle any controls again (especially multiple times) will not work; the controls become unresponsive.
4. Select the Browser node. You will see navigation links on the right side. Search for a string like "Layout", and click on any navigation link, it will fail, which is expected. Can we do something?

1. Please update the missing preferences in the "preferences.rst" file, as you have already updated the screenshots. A few preferences are missing from the documentation (not related to your PR, but it's good to have)
2. Fix 5 old SonarQube code smells in Button.jsx if possible.

I have changed logic to select the first item automatically if filter changes.

As discussed, it will be taken care in a separate ticket.

2. Fix 5 old SonarQube code smells in Button.jsx if possible.

Fixed 3/5. Cognitive complexity didn't fix.
