The lead QA at JetBrains @CrazyCoder (and highly prolific Answerer here on SOF) requested a bug submission for this : it is at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-277307.

Update: the very very latest version of IJ 20.2.1 has this completely fixed ! The two-weeks ago version was mine at 20.2 (new laptop install) so that minor release did the job!
