Commit Tool window missing!
已回答
I was using my fallback license Intellij Idea 2021 (version and build below) on a M1 macbook everything working fine, the company sent a new M2 macbook, I installed Intellij, and everything looks fine except for one little annoying thing: the Commit tool window is gone!!!
It's not appearing in the usual place, below the 'Project' tab, it also is not listed in Tool Window Menu:
IntelliJ IDEA 2021.2.4 (Ultimate Edition) - Build #IU-212.5712.43, built on December 21, 2021

I can see it in the keymap config, but when I press the shortcut NOTHING HAPPENS:
(I even added a second shortcut, but still not working)

Since I already returned the M1, I can't see the build version I was using.
What possibly happened here??

Hello,
Please check that "Use non-modal commit interface" option is enabled in "Preferences | Version Control | Commit".
On spot! Thank you!
Seems like a bug in preference sync, because I synced in the old mac and never in my life I used Idea with this check disabled.
You are welcome.
I have been looking for how to resolve the commit button disappear problem for a long time, thanks
it's missing again
