System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.18362 64 Bits
Graphics card: GeForce RTX 2080 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 442.59

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.81 (sub 16), branch: master, commit date: 2019-12-04 11:32, hash: f1aa4d18d4
Worked: (optional)

Short description of error
We have an Addon where you can set up your project path in the Addon preferences that uses a StringProperty with the subtype='DIR_PATH'.
When editing the text field by hand by for example pasting in a path, the userprefs are written at blender closure.
But if you select a path with the directory browser the userprefs are not written on closure.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Have an Addon with AddonPreferences class.
Have a StringProperty of subtype 'DIR_PATH' stored in the AddonPreferences
Open a empty blender scene and open addon preferences.
Set the StringProperty using the the directory browser button next to the text field.
Close Blender
Open Blender again, now the StringProperty is empty.

Thanks!

Could you test on later versions ?
I tried on 2.90, bdda53fdb2 & I can see the dir path after reopening Blender. Archipack, if you want to test. (let me know if I picked the wrong addon)
Are your "save preferences" settings wrong?
