For anyone else coming to this issue, there is another potential configuration option that you could be missing.

Make sure that you have correctly configured your server to use the correct path mapping between your local and remote files.

For example, if your site root is mounted locally at /home/foo/www/mysite but installed on the server at /www/mysite then you will need to edit your server configuration in PHPStorm to use path mappings (simply enter /www/mysite in the box alongside /home/foo/www/mysite).
