Build Identifier: 3.6 Helios

In the preferences, General -> Content Types, I add a new content type under the Text/XML node. I then export my preferences and can confirm the preference is saved in the file.

When I remove the content type I added or start a new workspace, I attempt to import the preferences. After import, I check if the content type is there and it is not. After a client restart, the preference is there. It seems that the preference dialog needs a refresh.

I ran a breakpoint on ContentTypeManager() and it creates the instance scope on client startup. My guess is it needs a refresh after the preference import.

Reproducible: Always
