Bug: some preferences not initialized on startup

To whom it may concern

I have an older 3dconnexion spacenavigator that I have set up with
openscad. My settings are as shown in yellow in the picture below and this
works fairly well for me.

The issue/bug appears after Openscad has been closed. When I open the app
next time then  the axes mapping is not properly initialized in the way
that "viewport rel. translation" is ignored and only "zoom" + "viewport
rel. rotation" is working,

There is a workaround which requires me to open Edit > Preferences and then
close Preferences right away. Now my settings are working the way I
originally set them up.

Bonus bug:
Curiously enough, if I open the Edit > Preferences > Axes pane it appears
that my axes mappings do not at all exist (see picture below).

I am running the 2021.01 version on windows 10

Best regards
