2.2.0-rc (build 2.2 r6635)
macOS 10.14.2 (18C54)

The Restore defaults buttons in the preferences do work different, depending on the current page.

Clicking Restore defaults instantly works on:

• Vinyl Control
• Decks
• Equalizers.
  Except non-default settings for Master EQ , appears to be a bug on its own.
• Recording
• Key detection
  Key Notation checkbox works only after page switch.
• Modplug-Decoder
• Normalization
  Analysis settings work only after page switch.

Clicking Restore defaults works when switching to another page and back:

• Sound Hardware
• Library
• Waveforms
• Auto-DJ
• Beat detection
  Beat analyzer selector instantly changes though

Clicking Restore defaults does nothing:

• Effects.
  Would expect effects that were set to invisible become set to Visible again. Not sure if this is a design decision.
• Live broadcasting

The button should work instantly, and the settings should visibly change, no matter the current page.

I cannot confirm this on Ubuntu Trusty using the recent 2.2.0.

For example:

• At Hardware preference
• Change Buffer to "2.9 ms"
• Press restore Defaults
• It is instantly back to 23.2

Is this a screen refresh issue on Mac OS?

Defaults seem important especially for Broadcasting: lp:1818054
