Except I might have accidentally clicked on a checkbox.  Or I'm still on the browser and scrolling my mouse wheel when my hand accidentally slides off the browser window onto Kate's settings.  With either situation, I have to ask myself, did I change something?  Should I click again?  How much should I scroll the other direction?

And a save button to confirm the change rather than how firefox does it by assuming that you want changes immediately with no canceling, restoring to what they were before because you might have decided I don't want to change it.
