Editor color scheme changed spontaneously
Hi,
out of the sudden editor colors changed in my PhpStrom.
I can't figure out what caused this change and mainly how to undo it.
I have recently updated to PhpStorm 2020.1, but I've already been using this for a few days with my original colours. Then yesterday, I've installed the Makefile plugin, but again, after the restart, everything was the same (I'm only about 90% sure of this). I'm not aware of any other changes that I'd make to the settings of my PhpStrom.
When I noticed the change I exported the current schema and reset back to the default Dracula theme (Settings > Editor > Color Scheme), but that also didn't match my original colors (I'm might have adjusted the colors of the default Dracula, but that would have been years ago and I haven't made changes or experienced any problems since).
Can you think of something that could have caused this? Is there any way I could go back to my original colors? I do have weekly backups of my home directory (Linux - Ubuntu), is there a way to extract my original color settings form there?
Thank you :)
PS: I found a screenshot of a snippet of code that sent to a colleague so I'm including a before and after screenshots of the same few lines of code (in case that this could help).

Hi there,
Yes, it could be the Makefile plugin.
There are quite a few reports that this plugin causes coloring issue with braces/brackets (makes them all blue color after a short while).

Please disable or update (if available) that plugin for the time being -- at very least to see if it will resolve your issue.
Hi, thanks for a quick response.
I tried to replicate this after I manually fixed the color schema (1) I uninstalled the Make plugin, installed again, but there was no change in the color scheme. There probably was multiple factors to it.
I discussed this with a colleague who experienced something similar after updating to 2020.1 (also on Linux) in his case it was probably caused by some plugins not syncing from the JetBrains server.
(1) I found an older version of PHpStrom on my previous laptop and copied the settings. Had to do it by hand the export and import didn't make a difference :(
I am a bit confused, is the color scheme in the desired state now, or everything remains blue-ish?
@Eugene-Morozov
Everything is back to how it used to be. However, to get to this state I had to manually update my color scheme in Settings.
Having everything back to normal I wanted to taste where it was really caused by the Makefile plugin in the first place. So I tried uninstalling and installing the plugin, but this time it didn't cause my color schema to change. So the reason for the spontaneous change of colors remains a mystery to me.
Hope this clears things up :)
