This is intentional behaviour.  The rationale is to make it easy to browse the available color schemes and find one which looks good on the currently displayed terminal contents.

Adding this feature requires extra code, so of course very few dialogs do it.

The problem with this is that it takes much longer to try the various color schemes and find the one that works best.  The logic required to apply the change ( select the color scheme by clicking on it and then click OK or Apply ) remains the same as other dialogs.

I had positive feedback on this feature at the Akademy conference this year and I will leave this bug report open so others can comment, unless there is a clear consensus that users prefer not to have it, it is likely to stay.
