Permanent spinner
Lately, there is always a spinner in the top right corner of my project pane, like this:
I suppose there might be something stuck, but everything I do as a PhpStorm novice appears to work fine, including navigation in the project pane. Closing and reopening the program does not help. Can anyone tell me what might be going on, or what to check? It's not an emergency to fix, but it is distracting. I have version 2017.1.1.

Hello,
Are there any error messages in Help > Show Log in Explorer > idea.log?
This morning, after ignoring PHPStorm for a couple days (doing other things, but left the program running), the spinner had gone away. I closed and reopened it as a test, and the spinner returned. But this was the only occurrence of the word "error" in the log - it looks more like just the setting of parameters for the running of the program than an actual error:
2017-05-30 11:10:50,535 [ 75] INFO - #com.intellij.idea.Main - JVM Args: -Xms128m -Xmx750m -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=240m -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:SoftRefLRUPolicyMSPerMB=50 -ea -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -XX:-OmitStackTraceInFastThrow -Djb.vmOptionsFile=C:\Program Files\JetBrains\PhpStorm 2017.1.1\bin\phpstorm64.exe.vmoptions -Xbootclasspath/a:C:\Program Files\JetBrains\PhpStorm 2017.1.1\lib\boot.jar -Didea.platform.prefix=PhpStorm -Didea.jre.check=true -Didea.paths.selector=PhpStorm2017.1 -XX:ErrorFile=C:\Users\Karen\java_error_in_phpstorm_%p.log -XX:HeapDumpPath=C:\Users\Karen\java_error_in_phpstorm.hprof
Relevant or not? There is nothing else with the word "error", and the spinner is still spinning several minutes later.
Thanks, got this!
It is already known as https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-169292, work is currently in progress.
Thanks, Vladimir! But please note that in my case the project does load - it doesn't permanently just say "loading...". But after it loads and everything looks functional, the spinner in the corner stays there for days. My symptom might be related to the same bug you cited, but I thought you should know.
Karen, to make this clear, you can install the EAP build and check if the issue is reproducible there:

Sorry, Karen, there's no need for that - it's still there for 2017.2.
