IntelliJ IDEA 2017: Find/Replace doesn't work
Answered
Hello!
I updated IntelliJ IDEA from version 2016 to 2017.1.4 - and Find/Replace functionality completely stopped working (including Find/Replace in Path). Items in menu are enabled, I can click them, but nothing happens. On another PC everything works (old and new versions of IDEA are the same as well as OS). Can anybody help me to figure this out? Thanks a lot.
OS - Xubuntu 16.06 (xenial) with latest updates installed on both machines.

Please file a bug with the logs at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/IDEA.
`-Dide.find.as.popup=false` in Help | Edit Custom VM Options will restore the original dialog.
Thank you Serge! I found the same issue in bugtracker - https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-170690
Will add my logs - seems that problem is quite simple:
java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: VISUAL_PADDING_PROPERTY

See https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-170192#comment=27-2045821. Looks like a corrupted installation/setting.
BTW - `-Dide.find.as.popup=false` didn't help :-(
The problem has resolved by itself. I tried to copy options folder from that another PC where it works - and it started working on this PC. After that, I returned everything back - and it keeps working. Hope it will not break again after next update...
