Loading project constantly in IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition

Answered

I updated my Mac to version Sequoia 15.1.1 and a problem appeared with IDEA, the project is constantly reloading. It is especially noticeable if I swipe the windows and reopen IDEA.
The problem is only with IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition
There is no such problem with IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate
 

macOS, Apple M2, Sequoia 15.1.1

IntelliJ IDEA 2024.3 (Community Edition), Build #IC-243.21565.193, built on November 13, 2024

Hi,

Are there any Antivirus/security tools in your system (e.g., CleanMyMac) that can be watching/updating the files?

See if it helps to re-generate project configuration settings:

  1. Close the IDE, go to the project directory, backup and delete the entire .idea folder and any .iml files from its root
  2. In the IDE, go to File | New | Project from existing sources, select the project's source (root directory or main build file)
  3. Wait for indexing to finish

Other things to try:

  • Reset Community IDE settings to defaults (a backup copy will be created in the process): File | Manage IDE Settings | Restore Default Settings
  • Disable all of the downloaded plugins and restart the IDE: Preferences | Plugins | ⚙ | Disable all downloaded plugins
