IDEA CE hangs on opening second project
Answered
Hi
since working with IDEA 2017.2 community edition on MacOS Sierra (10.12.6) my IDEA hangs when opening a second project in a new window.
It opens a new window but keep stuck see attached png. Any clicks on cancel have no effect. It is only possible to perform a hard shut down of IDEA using the force shut down in mac menu.
I don't know if this is a problem from IntelliJ or in combination with update of MacOS. In recent combinations of IDEA <=2017.1 i never faced any such problem.
Anybody knows to fix this?
Thanks in advance & regards

Hi,
I found the reason. I installed log4j-plugin some weeks ago which still has a bug as discussed in this 12 year old thread: (https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/207026405-Open-in-New-Frame-unable-to-start-monitor).
After uninstall of plugin everything works fine again.
Thanks for the information!
