I don't think that 'ubuntu-settings' is the package that you think it is so I'm moving this to 'gnome-control-center' which is the correct package for the 'Settings' application. As you are also reporting that other applications exhibit lags when scrolling then another part of GNOME may actually be at fault. If this problem has resolved itself since you reported this bug around four weeks ago then please let us know, thank you.

It might work fine for a while, then when I try scrolling, it laggs and nothing happens for a few seconds. It might even crash. This happens in Settings, in Extension Manager or some GS extension's settings.
