javadoc links not working in latest release of IDEA 2018.1
Answered
While viewing any Javadoc, e.g., mousing over a method name and looking at the Javadoc popup window, when I click on any links within the Javadoc (e.g., links to the parent class or other links created by any {@link} tags in the javadoc), nothing happens. This used to work fine -- clicking these links would display the linked Javadoc (e.g., the Javadoc for the parent class) -- but has not been working since I updated to the latest version of IDEA. Here is the version info:
- IntelliJ IDEA 2018.1 (Ultimate Edition)
- Build #IU-181.4203.550, built on March 26, 2018
- JRE: 1.8.0_152-release-1136-b20 x86_64
- JVM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o
- macOS 10.12.6

Hello Sam,
Could you please provide idea.log ("Help | Show Log in...") after restarting IDE and reproducing the issue? You could use any online sharing service or our FTP: ftp://ftp.intellij.net/.uploads/
Yaroslav,
There is nothing being logged when I view some javadoc and click on links. Logging seems to be at INFO level. Is there a way to turn on DEBUG logging or TRACE logging for the IDE?
Thanks,
Sam
Sam,
I need to check your configuration from the log. Could you please provide it?
The FTP URL you gave me didn't work for me.
Sam,
Will it work if you open documentation as a tool window (click on a cog at the bottom of documentation popup)
Most likely problem is related to this issue: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-189815
Yaroslav,
No, the links don't work even if I open as a tool window.

Sam,
Could you please try to update to the latest IDEA version and temporary disable "Mongo" plugin?
Thanks Yaroslav. Updating to the latest version of IDEA (2018.1.2, Build #IU-181.4668.68) seems to have fixed the issue, without having to disable the Mongo plugin.
Sam,
Thanks for information!
