system reload scripts doesn't work for addons stored in an alternative file path as set in preferences/file paths/scripts

reproduce:

set a custom scripts folder
restart blender and enable one of the addon from that folder
make and ammendment to the addon (add a print statement or something simple)
click reload scripts in blenders blender icon menu (no idea what it's actually called...the one left of the file menu)
run the portion of the addon that will make the print statement, check console, it's not there.

What do you mean by:

restart blender and enable one of the addon from that folder

I haven't found any place to set a new location for addons.
Preferences -> Fle Patch -> Scripts just set up a new directory for python to import modules that can be used in any addon.

Please give us more clear instructions on how to reproduce it from scratch.

Put an addon in a folder, add that folder to custom scripts in blender’s preferences. Reload blender so it picks up the addon from the folder you just set, enable that addon, change the addon code slightly, run the reload script command, test the addon has actually updated.

Cannot redo on b9207fb43d I copied PLY importer and changed it to

self.layout.operator(ImportPLY.bl_idname, text="Stanford 2 (.ply)")

It was reflected in the file menu -> import after Blender app menu -> system -> "reload scripts"

See if the outdated behavior due to stale pycache.
