I've recently experienced an inconsistent problem with system preferences; about 60-70% of the time it works exactly as it should, allowing changes etc. to be made in the normal manner. Occasionally, however, it will allow option selection by mouse or trackpad but only allow confirmation by the 'Return' key, and then on other occasions it will freeze completely after the option has been selected and can then only be closed by Force Quitting.

I have found that there were similar issues back with Lion which were solved by deleting a couple of ~Library/desktop preferences, but those particular preferences don't seem to exist on the latest OS (or at least not on my system!). Any ideas anyone?
