Code Style settings not loading, related error appears in idea.log

Hi,

I've been getting a "Unable to save settings: Failed to save settings. Please restart PhpStorm" error for a week or two now. I recently checked the idea.log file, which I've attached. It is essentially a repeat of the following Exception:

When I noticed that it was referring to the Code Style preferences, I attempted to check them, in order to re-save them, but the Code Style preferences pane never loads - there's a fixed loading spinner visible.

Any idea on how to fix this?

Apologies, I forgot to attach the idea.log file, however, it's literally just the above exception repeated ad-nauseum.

I just tried removing the ~/Library/Application Support/PhpStorm* directory and it resolved it.

I had same issue and it was from a rogue plugin not loading. Error popup showed in bottom-right corner.
