Sorting the about:config view by status is useful to see which preferences have non-default values

However, when sorted in this way the view doesn't work correctly. A boolean preference can be toggled once, and will work correctly. Toggling a second time will change the preference, but the view will not show that the change has happened. Toggling subsequent times appears to have no effect at all until the view is refreshed by a search or changing the sort criteria.

The problem does not appear using the default (by name) search order

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open about:config and sort the view by "status"
2. Toggle a boolean preference (e.g. mousewheel.enable_pixel_scrolling) through the context menu or by double click
3. Toggle the same preference a second time
Actual Results:  
The displayed value does not update (although the value has actually changed). Subsequent toggling of the same key appears to change neither the value nor the appearance

Expected Results:  
The preference should be able to be toggled any number of times and display the current value each time
