Thank you, too! I uninstalled the gfm plugin, and I opened the markdown file and did not hang! However, it was very slow. When I changed the plugin to "Markdown Navigator", the operation got faster.
We would need to check the generated logs. If possible, please submit them in a new bug report at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/newIssue or via Help | Contact Support.
It is hard to say anything for sure without checking logs first. Would it be possible to collect these and submit a YT issue or contact the support team?
i created a support ticket with the logs attached thanks
We're currently investigating this issue at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-247244 - feel free to share your logs & there. As I can see there's no workaround available currently.
Thanks!
Please try disabling gfm(https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7701-gfm) plugin - it seems to be responsible for the issue
Using IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate 2020.2, can't open any .md file, not even empty: double clicking on them doesn't do anything.
Disabling the Markdown plugin (bundled 202.6397.94) allows me to open them but no preview.
Please provide this .md file and your log folder zipped (for that, go to the menu Help and select Compress logs and show in <your file manager>).
Elena, Thank you for replying.
I will send .md and log files.
Please check them when you have time.

You can report this as a performance problem at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/newIssue
For me it hangs with JetBrains Markdown plugin (gfm was not installed). Markdown Navigator plugin works fine though...
Would it be possible to share the specific .MD file that causes the hang-up?
Here's the file which caused IDEA 2019.3 to hang:
```
This repository is based on the ethereumj public public release.
## Installing the lib
cd <install-dir>
<br>
mvn clean install -DskipTests
```
I'm using community edition with the default markdown plugin
Qrilka, please submit a support ticket attaching the logs bundle (Help | Compress Logs and Show in…), it's hard to say anything specific without it.
Please fix. (PHPStorm: 2020.2 PS-202-6397.115, Plugin: Markdown, Bundled 202.6397.115)
So Markdown files are completely freezing php-storm for me. I had this issue the other day.. i disabled the markdown plugin.
I wanted to edit a MD file today.. i re-enabled it to try again.. it froze phpstorm. I force-quite trough task manger (win 10)
HOWEVER.. it was the only file open at the time.... so then when I launched phpstorm.. it immediately was freezes on 'Re-opening files...'
I couldnt work! Tried to manually delete the .md file so it couldnt open it... it still froze on startup.
Luckily i deleting the .workspace.xml from the .idea folder allowed the app to start.. but now my workspace is hosed.
Can you share your logs via Help > **Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data** with us?
Thanks
Could you provide the link please ?
I also have this bug and I'd like to see the updates on the fix.
I have the same problem, to edit my MD file I had to disable markdown plugin first and use other editor to see the changes :(
Yea, I have the save issue, when I disable markdown plugin, Webstorm works fine (but without markdown preview of course).

Same issue for me - WebStorm on Windows - any *.md file would hang the IDE if Markdown plugin is enabled.
It is hard to say anything for sure without checking logs first.
