[ BUILD # : 7.2 ] [ JDK VERSION : other ] When starting the fresh installed IDE user often is not aware about the location setting in the Settings tab of the Plugins manager. After installing the IDE from administrative account, it is accessible for all users on this machine. When user additionally installs some plugins, running the IDE first time from administrative account, user expects those plugins globally installed without any attention on hidden settings. Even if bug 165552 would be fixed, that would not help, because (1) user account settings will not apply on administrative account and (2) user will first install plugins from administrative account, and later import settings while running the IDE first time from his user account. Alternative: bug 215533
