System Settings doesn't close and continuously changes focus to itself from any other window
I just upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04 from 14.04.
When I run System Settings, my CPU usage goes to 100%, and the Settings window always remains in focus. I tried to open System Monitor to kill System Settings, but the focus kept on changing back to Settings. When I click the close button, the current instance of Settings closes, but at the same time a new instance of the window pops up.
The only solution I found was to log out of the system.

This was a bug that has since been patched. The version of unity-control-center
shown in your output from apt-cache policy unity-control-center
is out of date.
I issued the following commands:
sudo apt-get purge unity-control-center
sudo apt-get install unity-control-center
sudo apt-get install unity-control-center-signon
Note the change in output.
$ apt-cache policy unity-control-center
