Description
if a user runs Mantid for the first time, he us encouraged to set up instrument, data and python script directories. These options are available to change later from File->manage users directories.
The instrument and data directories work as expected, when python script directories tab adds to user config file string:
usersearch.directories=
which is not related to
pythonscripts.directories=
-- where the python scripts run from.
The python scripts do not run from usersearch.directories. What does this configuration string do anyway?
The python scripts should either run from usersearch.directories too, or the name for the tab should be not a "python scripts directories".

Apparently, PythonScripts directory is mapped to wrong key in Mantid.user.properties which should be fixed
