Native/Intellij file selection dialog?
When I do file -> open from my dev CE intellij I get the macOS native file selector.
However when I run intellij from intellij (debug) and do file -> open I get the intelliJ dialog, not the OS one. How come?

-Dide.mac.file.chooser.native=true/false JVM property controls this behavior. Can be added in Help | Edit Custom VM Options.
@Serge the weird thing is that this flag it is defined!
Please see this screencast with the issue:

I have a similar, but worse problem. If I click on "Open", I get the IntelliJ dialog which hangs / freezes. Maybe I should open another post for this issue?
But if the native mac dialog could work, this might be a workaround for me, so I answer to this post, also.
It's a different problem. Make sure you run IDE on a recent JDK version: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-179723.
Since Catalina / 2019.2 I have no native file selection dialogs at all any more. How would that be possible?
