    Intro

Normally the Jetbrains applications store their config and system in a directory in your home directory. That's fine except when you run out of space in your home directory, or they change the directory with an upgrade. For example, when you upgrade PhpStorm from 2016.3 to 2017.1, the config directory and systems directory changes as well. This means that 2017.1 doesn't have the plugins you installed with 2016.3
Somewhere buried deep in the knowledge base is an article that explains how you can fix this but putting it out here makes it easier to find.
Instructions

These instructions are written for Ubuntu, if you run another distro the locations and files might be different.
I'm assuming you config and system directory will be stored in /d1/config/{JetBrains App}/
The following part is an example for PhpStorm


Create a directory for new config and system directories /d1/config/PhpStorm
Copy the config and system directories from the {HOME}/.PhpStorm2017.1 directory to their new locations
Copy the file idea.properties from the PhpStorm bin directory to /d1/config/PhpStorm
Edit the idea.properties file as shown in the file idea.properties in this gist. You only need to edit the lines 8, 13, 18, and 23

Let JetBrains obey the new idea.properties files


Create a file jetbrains.sh in the directory /etc/profile.d/
Add the necessary parts for the programs you run. (See the file jetbrains.sh in this gist)
Restart your computer. Unfortunately you have to restart your computer after editing the jetbrains.sh file.

# Experimental option that does a number of things to make truly smooth scrolling possible:
#
# * Enables hardware-accelerated scrolling.
#     Blit-acceleration copies as much of the rendered area as possible and then repaints only newly exposed region.
#     This helps to improve scrolling performance and to reduce CPU usage (especially if drawing is compute-intensive).
#
# * Enables "true double buffering".
#     True double buffering is needed to eliminate tearing on blit-accelerated scrolling and to restore
#     frame buffer content without the usual repainting, even when the EDT is blocked.
#
# * Adds "idea.true.smooth.scrolling.debug" option.
#     Checks whether blit-accelerated scrolling is feasible, and if so, checks whether true double buffering is available.
#
# * Enables handling of high-precision mouse wheel events.
#     Although Java 7 introduced MouseWheelEven.getPreciseWheelRotation() method, JScrollPane doesn't use it so far.
#     Depends on the Editor / General / Smooth Scrolling setting, remote desktop detection and power save mode state.
#     Ideally, we need to patch the runtime (on Windows, Linux and Mac OS) to improve handling of the fine-grained input data.
#     This feature can be toggled via "idea.true.smooth.scrolling.high.precision" option.
#
# * Enables handling of pixel-perfect scrolling events.
#     Currently this mode is available only under Mac OS with JetBrains Runtime.
#     This feature can be toggled via "idea.true.smooth.scrolling.pixel.perfect" option.
#
# * Enables interpolation of scrolling input (scrollbar, mouse wheel, touchpad, keys, etc).
#     Smooths input which lacks both spatial and temporal resolution, performs the rendering asynchronously.
#     Depends on the Editor / General / Smooth Scrolling setting, remote desktop detection and power save mode state.
#     The feature can be tweaked using the following options:
#       "idea.true.smooth.scrolling.interpolation" - the main switch
#       "idea.true.smooth.scrolling.interpolation.scrollbar" - scrollbar interpolation
#       "idea.true.smooth.scrolling.interpolation.scrollbar.delay" - initial delay for scrollbar interpolation (ms)
#       "idea.true.smooth.scrolling.interpolation.mouse.wheel" - mouse wheel / touchpad interpolation
#       "idea.true.smooth.scrolling.interpolation.mouse.wheel.delay.min" - minimum initial delay for mouse wheel interpolation (ms)
#       "idea.true.smooth.scrolling.interpolation.mouse.wheel.delay.max" - maximum initial delay for mouse wheel interpolation (ms)
#       "idea.true.smooth.scrolling.interpolation.precision.touchpad" - precision touchpad interpolation
#       "idea.true.smooth.scrolling.interpolation.precision.touchpad.delay" - initial delay for precision touchpad interpolation (ms)
#       "idea.true.smooth.scrolling.interpolation.other" - interpolation of other input sources
#       "idea.true.smooth.scrolling.interpolation.other.delay" - initial delay for other input source interpolation (ms)
#
# * Adds on-demand horizontal scrollbar in editor.
#     The horizontal scrollbar is shown only when it's actually needed for currently visible content.
#     This helps to save editor space and to prevent occasional horizontal "jitter" on vertical touchpad scrolling.
#     This feature can be toggled via "idea.true.smooth.scrolling.dynamic.scrollbars" option.
