Project settings are slow to take effect

[miv391]

Tested versions

Reproducible in v4.3.beta1.mono.official [a4f2ea9]

System information

Godot v4.3.beta1.mono - Windows 10.0.19045 - Vulkan (Forward+) - dedicated NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB (NVIDIA; 32.0.15.5599) - Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz (4 Threads)

Issue description

If I run the project (pressing F5) immediately after changing some project setting (Display | Window | Viewport Height for example), the project still uses the old setting value. If I wait a few seconds (maybe about 3 seconds on my computer) before starting the project, the new setting value has been taken effect. The problem happens most easily when just typing the new numeric setting value without pressing enter and closing the Project Setting window by clicking the Close button and then immediately pressing F5.

I would expect that the changed settings would take effect before it is possible to start the project.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Project Setting
2. Type some new value to Display | Window | Viewport Height, do not press enter!
3. Click Close button
4. Immediately press F5 to start the project --> old window height is still used
5. Press F8 to stop
6. Press F5 to start the project again --> new window height is used

The part about not pressing enter seems relevant and seems like the editor doesn't mark the option as changed for saving before running the project

I can reproduce the problem also by pressing enter before closing the Settings Windows, but I need to be fast.

A similar problem occurs with Exporting. Try making a project setting change, then doing an export to iOS. I was pulling my hair out for a few hours (change setting, export, fix Xcode settings, export to phone, repeat.... over and over....) trying to work out why the settings weren't going into my exported iOS project.
