Had some problems with that one myself (I thought it was my PC
misbehaving).
It seams like the click event on the button does not always register
(but I did not wait long enough to see if it will come up seconds
later).
If the "change" window does not appear immediately after clicking on the
button  a second click usually do the trick sometimes a third is needed.

I have not noticed this on any other windows
( Don't think this has to do with the speed of the Machine.  I have a
Athlon 1.4 GHz and 1 GB RAM )

I'll try and see if this behavior is linked to some event(s).
