changes in grid color in the preferences take effect only after restart of the document

I changed the color of the grid lines in the preferences.

First, nothing changed.

Only when I closed the document and reopened/restarted it did the color change take effect.

It would be great if the color would change immediately and would not require a restart.

In other applications there is often an [Apply] button that makes changes in the
preferences effective. That might be useful here as well.

As a minor issue aside, a [Close] button in the color change window that pops up when I
klick on the color for minor or major lines in the preferences would be useful, or
closing it on typing return. Would save one klick.

Perhaps you already are familiar with the Grids tab in the Document Properties dialog? The grid properties (including color) can be set for the current document with visible results. Those properties can later be entered into the Preferences dialog, if all new documents should have them as default.

Right.

Also, the OP in the other bug figured it out but do to breaking the threading I didn't notice the answer..

Closing this bug, sorry for the noise!
