phpStorm 2020.1.2 Always opens new editor when click on a associated file.
Answered
Hi,
Before I upgrade to phpStorm I could click on any file type like .php in a windows folder and it would load into the project that I have open.
After upgrading to phpStorm 2020.1.2 when I click on the file .php it always opens up a new editor window with just that file in it.
How do I fix this so that it works as it did before upgrading?
Thank you

Hi there,
In general it sounds like LightEdit mode is in action: https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2020/04/lightedit-mode/
If file that you open does not belong to a currently opened projects then it will be opened in such mode. If that project is already opened then it should be opened in that frame. If it does not for you -- no solid ideas .. except maybe some bug .. or it uses different path than what it sees in IDE (e.g. a symlink somewhere in the path).
You may disable that mode completely: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-236868#focus=streamItem-27-4068744.0-0
I had same problem. Helped disabling the LightEdit mode as said Andriy Bazanov. Greate thx dude :)
