Description

When creating a new project (New > Create project > Choose Flutter type), I expect to see previously used Flutter SDK versions in the dropdown menu. ~This works in 2026.1 but not in 2026.2,~ see 2026.2 result below:

**Update 2026-09-05:**

I think this actually is not specific to 2026.2 after all. Instead, this blank SDK menu seems to appear whenever I start out with the new project wizard on a non-Flutter language. For example, these are the steps I followed from IntelliJ 2026.1:
1. File > New project
2. Click on "Dart" (or any other language besides Flutter)
3. Click Cancel
4. Click File > new project again --> the wizard should start on the language you selected before canceling
5. Then go to Flutter --> The Flutter SDK path is empty
