Selecting 'New Flutter Project' doesn't open the flutter project wizard

[strangedreamsNY]

Summary:

When I open Android Studio with the Flutter plugin installed and click 'New Flutter Project', the 'New Project' window selects whatever the previous project type was instead of a Flutter project

Reproduce:

1. Make sure all projects are closed and restart Android Studio.
2. Click on 'New Flutter Project'
3. From the New Project window select a different project type from the menu on the right and click 'Cancel'
4. Click on 'New Flutter Project' again

Expected: The 'New Project' window should be for a Flutter Project

Actual: The project type is whatever was last selected from this window. This persists on application restart.

It's a minor issue, but has led to a few false starts and it makes it seem kind of silly to have a 'New Flutter Project' button if the button doesn't actually start a 'New Flutter Project'.

• It's worth noting that this issue also persists on Narwhal 2025.1.2 Nightly 2025-06-06 and in fact it opens to the project previously selected when using Meerkat but not Ladybug.

This looks like what @csells was seeing in #8210; even if minor it is annoying. I'm not sure if there's anything the platform will allow us to do but will pick it up in that issue.

Thanks for the report!
