I wanted a side-by-side comparison of Colsolas and Cascadia Code in two instances of WT and my default profile. With two instances running, both were updated when I saved the settings file (so I didn't get my comparison). Al running instances are updated regardless of which (if any) caused the settings file to be opened (including Settings UI). I'm not complaining but I was quite surprised. It's rather peculiar behavior. I can't think of another app that behaves that way.
