README.rst editor and preview option not working in PyCharm.

I can't edit my Readme.rst file because is only in Preview option and I can't change to edit view.

Hi, 

.rst files should be always displayed in split view. It could be a case of corrupted settings, so could you please try resetting the IDE settings to default by using **File | Manage IDE settings | Restore Default Settings...**? Your current settings will be backed up, so you can revert to them later (to do this, just import settings from the backed up folder). 

If this doesn't help, please provide Logs from **Help | Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data**.

You can use uploading service at https://uploads.jetbrains.com/ , and provide upload ID in your reply. 

P.S. The documentation says there should be a selector for the view mode, but I think this is a mistake. Will check it.

Hi,

resetting the IDE settings worked for me, BUT...

is there no other way to just close the view mode? I can only change the size in the split view, but not hide the Preview mode.

Hi,

Dealing with the same problem here. Resetting IDE settings may work but I don't really see this as a realistic option as I have customized my PyCharm heavily and run dozens of projects in it...

I have uploaded the logs as you suggested above, the upload ID is: 2022_04_07_51WAvA356Ekwcvxd
