Version control tab no longer displaying down the bottom

Answered

I have a github controlled folder with many projects inside this that I open individually in the IDE. Sometimes the Version Control tab is there and for others it is not. They use the same VCS root in the preferences and I have tried removing them for the problem project and enabling VCS again via the menu. 

This briefly pops up the version control tab and says 'Added git root x' - but it is greyed out and disappears again. I can however do all github operations via the menu. In the View menu it is not there to show either.

I found a way to get it back.. right click on any git controlled file in the IDE and do show git history..the tab that was missing now shows up.

i had the same issue; resolved it by going to "Preferences > Version Control" and saw some VSC not added. If that's the case for you, click on all of them to select and click on the + icon. Then the VS tab should reappear.

yes, under Preferences > Version Control, adding project directory and selecting Git under dropdown for VCS worked!
