Update 2018.2.5 - Find in path looks differently and double shift -> ENTER doesn't open the file
Answered
I just upgraded to 2018.2.5 on Linux and now if I double shift to open a specific file and press ENTER on my keyboard, the file doesn't get open but the search everywhere dialog is closed.
Also the Find in Path dialog (CTRL-SHIFT-F) looks completely differently and is not useful at all:
My colleague is on a Macbook and also upgraded to 2018.5.2 but doesn't have these two issues.

Switch back to JetBrains Runtime: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/articles/206544879.
It looks like you are running IntelliJ IDEA on non-default runtime.
Thank you for the fast reply. Alright that fixed the double-shift problem, but the find in path dialog is still not very useful.
And additional to that I now get a warning at start saying that the runtime might cause instability..
Double check you see this in Help | About: JRE: 1.8.0_152-release-1248-b19.
It's the runtime version bundled with 2018.2.5 release available at http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/index.html.
Older runtimes will cause crashes and bugs.

I am on JRE: 1.8.0_152-release-1248-b19.
But the find in path dialog still looks different than before. Check the screenshot above.
Oh while on JRE: 1.8.0_152-release-1248-b19 .
Double-Shift-ENTER doesn't work again properly.
Sometimes it opens the file directly and sometimes not.
Also please note, that it opens everytime perfectly if I click on the file instead of select it and press ENTER
Make sure you have ide.find.as.popup enabled in the Registry or -Dide.find.as.popup=true in Help | Edit Custom VM Options.
Search Everywhere not working is a known issue: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-200654.
That doesn't help. Why is there a different popup for me?

You either don't run under JetBrains Runtime or ide.find.as.popup is set to false.
I am running the runtime you told me and -Dide.find.as.popup is set to true via Help | Edit Custom VM Options. (it was not set before)
But I didn't change anything. I just updated to 2018.5.2 and the dialog is different. That means you changed some defaults. Also why does my colleague with a mac doesn't have that dialog once he updated? So it looks to me it must be related to linux or the linux build of intelli j
Please file a bug at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/IDEA and attach the logs folder zipped: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/articles/207241085. Also attach your About dialog.
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-200704 that one could have been written by me. So there are others with the same issue on ubuntu. Seems that it'll be fixed with 2018.2.6
Yes, it looks like it's a result of a crash workaround for Linux system.
I had the same issue with "Search everywhere" on Ubuntu 18.04 (Gnome Desktop, IntelliJ already used the bundled java environment and ide.find.as.popup was set to true).
As a workaround, switching to the new (experimental) "Search everywhere" (Point 4, activating "
new.search.everywhere") worked fine for me: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-200654#focus=streamItem-27-3108261-0-0
