File Tab closes if i minimise then maximise again after a time
PhpStorm 2023.2.2
Please bare in mind i haven't used the editor for about 6 months.
Hi, i am finding the file tab I'm currently editing disappears when i minimise then maximise phpStorm after a time. Is there a new/old setting to stop this?
I also used to be able to close phpStorm down and the last file tabs would automatically be there, on next open.

Hi Steve,
Is there any chance your project is located on a OneDrive share? If this is the case, you might be experiencing the following issue:
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-323445/OneDrive-Project-constantly-re-indexing-and-closing-all-editor-tabs-on-IDE-focus-change
Seems to be indexing that closes the file, after few minutes of being minimised?
Hi Vasily, As far as i know its not on OneDrive. But yes that seems to be what is happening, reindexing seems to shut tabs down.
I have qnap qsync on that folder??
Thanks Vasily, That was it, even though it wasn't oneDrive.
Untick
File | Settings | Appearance & Behavior | System Settings > Synchronize external changes when switching to the IDE window or opening an editor tabto disable constant file syncs and avoid project rescan;And i have only just started using qSync. All good again and i don't have to rely on my dodgy memory (i think i'm getting too old for this, lol)

Steve
Thank you for the update.
I have never seen any similar issues with qSync before but probably, the root cause is the same here. I will keep it in mind for the future consideration.
Nonetheless, it is good to know that things work fine for you now, thanks again!
