Rider keeps loosing settings
Sorry, this is a bit of a rant.
I am simply sick of loosing settings every couple of weeks. For some reason, Rider seems to have issues remembering my settings and the settings of other members in my team.
From time to time, part of the settings is just back to its defaults. This happens so often that I even implemented a small tool that checks for missing settings. This is what I got today:
The output was empty on Friday. And I definitely did NOT remove these settings.
Is it possible to get this issue fixed?
You can probably imagine what it does to code-reviews if developers use different format-settings.

Hello,
Do you use Sync Settings to JetBrains Account or Settings Repository features?
Code Style settings can also be shared via Solution team-shared settings layer - if the <SolutionName>.sln.DotSettings is in the scope of the version control, then settings stored in this file in the repository might override your local settings when you fetch it from the remote repo.
Hi,
thank you for the reply.
I do not sync the settings at all.
Unfortunately, the settings mentioned in the comment above cannot be stored in a team-shared settings-layer as far as I can see:
We did not yet use a solution-based approach yet.
Anyway, this would only be a workaround. The real issue is the Rider keeps forgetting the settings. This should just not happen.
Hello,
Thank you for the clarification. Would you please upload Rider logs, collected right after the issue has been reproduced? You can use JetBrains Upload Service. This will enable us to proceed with the investigation.
Thank you in advance.
Hi,
I will do that the next time the issue occurs.
The settings are gone again. It happened some time during the last couple of days.
I uploaded the logs: 2023_06_27_U2pmKWZ5yU6yBqKwoAAWpA
The settings have already disappeared again. It happened during the last 24 hours.
This is starting to become really annoying.

Hello Andreas E Hoffmann
Thank you for your patience.
Upon further investigation, we consider your issue related to IDEA-318457 Custom Code Style settings are accidentally lost. This bug should be fixed in the latest EAP build released today. Please install Rider EAP7 build let me know in case you're still experiencing the same behavior.
Have a great day!
