File templates from "team-shared" settings are not available in "New..." menu

I've created a collection of file templates that I wish to share with my team, and I copied them all to the “team-shared” settings layer, and then shared the .sln.DotSettings file with the team via git.

Although the other team members have the shared settings file, and I've verified that the file teamplates I added are there, these templates do not show up in their “New…” menu, unless they copy the template settings to their personal settings layer (the .sln.DotSettings.user file).

I've included a screenshot of a specific file template that is saved in the team-shared layer, and has the Add to “New…” menu option selected. This template does not show up in the “New…” menu unless it is also copied in to the “personal” settings layer.

Is this by design? Should the IDE combine the templates from the team-shared and personal layer?

The way things are working, it makes it challenging to share templates with the rest of the team.
