Greyed out run tool window. Can only run through python console.
I can no longer access the run tool window (Cmd+4) it appears as greyed out in 'View > Tool Windows'. Whenever I run anything it goes through the Python Console, how do i get it back to run through the run window?

Edit: The run tool window appears if I change 'Run > Edit Configurations > Execution' and remove 'Run with Python console' but it just says 'Finished with exit code 0' and doesn't allow me to look at and edit things in the terminal window after running the programme
I am suffering from the same issue. I made the similar inquiry (by a comment) and I got a reply at

which was not satisfactory.
In 2018.1, when I use 'run in console', PyCharm opens a Run window, but in 2018.2 it runs the code in Python Console window instead which lacks significant functionalities including 'scroll to the end.' and they name each window Python Console (2), (3), ... I can't even close all the consoles at once.
I guess they don't distinguish differences between 2018.1 and 2018.2 which is really apparent. Anyway, this update makes the productivity of the PyCharm severely decreased in my case.
Ah yes, I thought this was when I updated. I much preferred being able to use the console in the run window and have different sessions that I could run as __main__. The python console is far less useful, maybe I will have to downgrade.
I am also considering getting back to 2018.1. I had to use 'builtins' instead of __main__
