Illustrator 2025 (29.7.1) Units preference resetting to points after changing keyboard increments

I have a bug that after I change the units preference from points to mm. If I then go back in to preferences after, and change the keyboard increment distance and click ok, the transform palette and rulers, etc are back in points. I then have to go back in to preferences to change it again.
Also, I use cmd+K to access this panel and for years have then just been able to type a new increment, but now it starts typing in the search bar instead. Really annoying to change over 20 years of learned experience.

Thats only one of the issues. Any idea when these issues are going to be solved though? Its a real pain as I updated because of another major bug in the previous version.
