Opening file in Local Changes closes Local Changes panel
Answered
When I double-click on a file in the Local Changes panel, it opens the file but then it automatically hides the Local Changes panel.
Is there a way to disable this? I want Local Changes to stay open until I close it.
Thanks.

Hi,
Can you please share a screenshot of this?
I created a new folder with a git repo and was not able to reproduce the behaviour. So there must be a setting somewhere that says “when opening a file in Local Changes, close Local Changes” except I can't find it. Here's a gif of it happening in my existing project which has the problem.
I'm using this version on Mac OS 14.5:
IntelliJ IDEA 2024.1.1 (Ultimate Edition)
Build #IU-241.15989.150, built on April 29, 2024.
Runtime version: 17.0.10+1-b1207.14 aarch64
Can you please check in what kind of viewed mode do you git window open:
Aha. Found it. View mode > Undock is what caused it. I changed it to Dock Pinned (which looks the same) and it's not disappearing now.
Thank you.
