PhpStorm has been very unstable lately. Are there any ways to fix this? I can provide you with the logs.

Hello Linilnjohnny2,
Could you please clarify what exactly you mean by “unstable”? Have you encountered issues with, for example, code highlighting, navigating through menus, IDE freezes, errors when performing specific actions in the IDE (e.g., indexing, code completion, inspections, refactoring, running tests)?
If possible, please provide as many details as you can:
- exact steps to reproduce,
- when it started happening,
- how often it occurs,
- your OS and PhpStorm version,
- whether it happens in a specific project or in all projects.
You can collect the logs via Help | Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data and upload them to https://uploads.jetbrains.com/. Please share the upload ID in your next reply.
Thank you.

I'm afraid the sole thread dump is not of much help. Could you please address the questions above and share the whole logs archive from Help | Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data?
