Describe the problem

Users may access the Internet via a proxy server. Arduino IDE can be configured for this use case via the "Network" tab of the "Preferences" dialog.

🐛 If only the "Port number" preference is changed, the IDE disregards the change.

To reproduce

1. Select File > Preferences... from the Arduino IDE menus.
2. Click the "Network" tab.
3. Select the "Manual proxy configuration" radio button.
4. Configure proxy as follows:
   • Select the "HTTP" radio button.
   • Set "Host name" to example.com
   • Set "Port number" to 42
   • Set "Username" to foo
   • Set "Password" to bar
5. Click the OK button.
6. Select File > Preferences... from the Arduino IDE menus.
7. Click the "Network" tab.
   🙂 The proxy configuration is as you specified at step (4).
8. Change "Port number" to 123.
9. Click the OK button.
10. Select File > Preferences... from the Arduino IDE menus.
11. Click the "Network" tab.

🐛 The value of the "Port number" preference is 42 as configured at step (4) instead of 123 as reconfigured at step (8).

Expected behavior

Changes to the "Port number" preference take effect.
