Active Editor preferences don't migrate through restart in IntelliJ IDEA 14 build number 139.1

They should be permanent, without tricks. Works for me in recent 139.92. Any problems on your side?

Regards,
Alexander.

Yes the problem persists on my side. I deleted the whole thing, downloaded 139.92, and installed it; same.
The active editor settings got reset everytime I close and open the software.

Maybe it's a bug? How/Where to report?

Bug tracker is here: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/IDEA

You can file an issue at any time, ignoring my questions here - that's Ok. The problem is hardly in two settings you mentioned, it's more likely with saving files in the file system, maybe with file permissions.

What is your OS?

Alexander.

I didn't ignore any question of yours. You asked "Any problems on your side?" That's quite a wide question, how can I know what kind of a problem you mean :)

My OS is Windows 8.1 Enterprise.

I just mean, if you are bored with this thread, you can write a bug report directly into the tracker.

Thank you, I'll ask our guys with Win8, do they know about similar issues.

Alexander.

I'm not easily bored until I got my situation resolved :) but I did that report thing also:
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-131382

Active Editor preferences persisting is not supported currently. Only global editor preferences (including both 'show line numbers' and 'show whitespaces') are preserved across restarts.

I could not find(not that I searched for years, but looked for them a while) the global editor preferences, would you kindly point me to the right direction? :)

The settings that you've mentioned are in Editor->Editor->Appearance.

Settings dialog / Editor / Editor / Appearance. (I thought we talked about them all this time, sorry for that.)

Regards,
Alexander.

Hahaha we suffered needlessly :( anyways thnx for the help guyz :)
I always was looking for these settings under the Appearance & Behavior tab under the settings :) (and yes I know I could search words through the settings but still looked it under the Appearance & Behavior tab and didn't even think to look to other tabs :D )

Just for case it helps: Settings dialog supports search. Just open the dialog and start typing a phrase, like "line numbers".

Alexander.
