Pycharm Professional Edition 2022.2 View TODO filtering stopped working

Hi, I tried creating a new pattern and a new filter in 2022.2, works correctly for me.

Could you please check if the issue is reproduced in a new empty project with a new pattern/filter definition?

Trying with new project does not help much as I have the issue with existing bigger project upgrade… I believe it works with new ones

Ok, if the issue is project-specific, please try removing/renaming the `.idea` directory from the project root while PyCharm is closed and reopen the project. This will generate a new project config. Does the issue still reproduce?

This fixed the issue. I had to reconfigure all the patterns for todo labels. 

I would consider this an upgrade bug. One should not need to reconfigure project after upgrading - first time I recall  this has happened to me on PyCharm or other Jetbrains products since the early 2000's that I have been using the product set. 

Hmm. This bug occurred again - now after running 2022.2.1rc for awhile. Did not install new versions...

I have tried the following steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Installed PyCharm 2022.1.4 on a clean Ubuntu system

2. Created a filter for the todo comments and made sure it's working

3. Updated PyCharm to the latest 2022.2.1, restarted.

Todo filters still work. So, unfortunately, couldn't reproduce.

Ways to troubleshoot:

The filters are stored in the options/editor.xml file that is located in the configuration directory.

In the following XML component:

  <component name="TodoConfiguration">
    <pattern pattern="\btodo\b.*" />
    <pattern pattern="\bfixme\b.*" />
    <pattern icon="important" pattern="\boptimize\b.*" />
    <filter name="optimization">
      <pattern index="2" />
    </filter>
  </component>

When the issue is reproduced, you can check what's actually in the config there. Is this component missing?

I have encountered the same problem. I solved it by changing " to " in .idea/workspace.xml
