"Automatically show first error in editor" missing in Android studio

Question

Currently after a failed compilation I need to manually go to the first error - which is suboptimal. It was once different so I tried to find the setting hinted here:

But this option is missing for me:

There are hints that it was once there though:

but I cannot choose this option.It leads me to the above settings screen and there this option is missing.

Also a "global F2" could help - but I do not find a way to get this.

In order to toggle it, it needs to be changed in the default settings, which can be accessed from the home screen (close all projects), and by clicking on settings from there.

You might also have it listed under File -> Other settings -> Default Settings.

Android Studio has a bunch of settings that aren't included in the project settings. I honestly don't know why, but Android Studio seems more and more like it actively excludes IntelliJ features.

It not working, however, seems to be an entirely different issue, and it might be a bug in AS/IntelliJ -- I can't get it to work properly in either.
