Recently, IDEA started crashing every night, even old versions.

Answered

Recently, when I turn off my monitors, sleep, work, get home, and turn on my monitors, the open IDEA windows are completely frozen in place, and when I attempt to resize them, they turn blank.

I first started seeing this less than 7 days ago, with IJ2024.2.1 (242.21829.40). I then downgraded to IJ2023.2.2 which I still had installed in Jetbrains-toolbox. It started up with different projects open, because it uses an older config directory. The same happens, every night, in typical Heisenbug fashion.

To my knowledge, nothing about the system that might influence IJ has changed. It runs several software upgrade rounds per week (I use Linux Mint). I tweaked the keyboard repeat delay last week (something I've never done before, so it might be relevant; although I don't know the original number). Every day when I turn on my monitors I have to change the DPI back (with a lil script), which I've been doing for ages, so nothing has “changed” in this regard. (And IJ's DPI doesn't change anyway unless it's started in a wrong-DPI state. When I turn on my monitors, IJ is the only program with readable text.)

The log shows nothing unusual. In particular, it logs hourly JVMResponsivenessMonitor reports, which all look clean (up to 25000us max).

The system's Real Memory usage is below 75% (8GB+ free).

Any idea what's going on or how to troubleshoot this?

Hello, Mark Jeronimus.

Could you please collect (Help | Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data) and share your 2024.2 IDE logs? You can share it via the JetBrains Uploads service and write me the ID you receive. I want to check the thread dumps, which should have been written automatically on the IDE freezes.
