Answer 4

It seems the default scheme leaves out the "attribute" property in the arrangement rules. Adding them back in works like a charm for me.

The correction can be made in: Preferences > Editor > Code Style > XML

Answer 5

• ctrl + alt + s
• Search XML

I wanted to do the same steps as the first answer, but I just needed to change the default scheme to project.

I hope that you also solve it this way . Sorry for my English !
