Okay. Thanks for clarifying that. I've just made the following change to 
Orca:

       * src/orca/orca_gui_prefs.py:
         In the callback for the Cancel button on the Orca Preferences
         window, the code has been adjusted to destroy that window, so
         that the next time the user displays the Preferences dialog,
         all of the settings will reflect the current running state
         rather than how the user left the GUI components before hitting
         the Cancel button.

This should show up in Orca v2.17.3, some time next week.
