Hi.
I run into this problem all the time. I always end up with trashing the config folder. (I have tried the other soulutions first.)
This is a major hassle. I takes to much time. And I'm loosing all the settings for other extensions an workspace layouts and such.
You need to get this investigated and fixed!
I have some posts about it in the forums, but I don't post everytime it happens.
Regards
Olle
