Missing feature in IntelliJ 2024.2?

Answered

I've been using IntelliJ for a long time. I've always single-clicked a line number in the left margin of an editor to select the entire current line. But since I've upgraded to 2024.2 (which I love, by the way), I can no longer select the current line that way. Now I have to single-click the line and drag down to select it, which is a bit difficult since most of the time that selects two lines.

I've tried to find how to configure that feature, but I couldn't find it.

You need to right-click in the gutter area, select Appearance and disable the following option:
