I don't rember the user defined search path ever working, I just added
all the libs, which is easy to do, because you can select multiple
libs. I have not tested the user defined search path option much
because of the before mentioned reason, and hence I never came around
reporting it.

If you mean that it does not work properly too, please report it,
which a use case illustrating that it does not work.
