Can you explain what you mean? I do not see anything strange when looking at Preferences.

open FreeCAD and launch only Path wb.
go to the Preferences. I don't expect to also see the preferences of Part/PartDesign:

Path_Preferences doesn't talk about that and I don't remember that too but as I am not a user, only translator, I am not sure.

There was some rearrangement of the Preferences over the past couple of months, so any changes are likely the result of that adjustment.

I think Part WB is always active, so the Part/PartDesign Preferences will always appear.

I do not believe the Path WB has any role in this behavior.

Path uses something from PartDesign and thus it is imported and shows in the preferences. This can happen with other workbenches too, and may be worth mentioning in the wiki, but it can also be seen as some implementation detail which you don't have to worry about.

I don't really worry only wanted to clarify (my memory can play with me).
GeneC has more or less answer to my questionning.

The core of the Part WB is always active. Sorry if I suggested that the Path WB Preferences must always be shown.
