268	"broken ""preferences"" file overwritten without backup copy"	sascha-web-josm.openstreetmap.de@…	josm@…	"When downloading plugins using the plugins tab in preferences, they are saved (and entered into the preferences file) with two leading newlines each. So JOSM will report a broken preferences file upon next startup and overwrite it (without leaving a backup copy, loosing all my customisations!).
After manually renaming the files and fixing the preferences file, the plugins are working more or less fine.

Marking critical because of overwritten preferences file.
