Bug Description

1. Preferences > Set Color Scheme > Bacground Color > Black -> OK
2. Preferences > Save Preferences
3. Close eeschema
4. Close kicad launcher
5. Restart kicad launcher & eeschema -> got white background
It's not a secret that using a black or dark background prevents deterioration of vision.

Vision deterioration aside, it's confirmed. Even the other way (I have black background and try to set it white) is not persisted across invocations.
