IntelliJ IDEA 2025.3.5 Freezes During "Search in Path" / File Path Search After Upgrade
已回答
Problem Description:
After upgrading from IntelliJ IDEA 2025.3.2 to 2025.3.5, I'm experiencing severe performance issues:
Issues:
- File Path Search Freezing: When using the search box at the top of the editor (file path navigation/search - highlighted in the image below), IntelliJ freezes for approximately 1 minute before showing results
- Class Creation Delays: Creating new classes takes an unusually long time, with IntelliJ becoming unresponsive
- UI Freeze: During these operations, I get the "IntelliJ IDEA is not responding" message with the option to "Ctrl+D to dump threads"
Environment:
- IntelliJ IDEA Version: 2025.3.5
- Previous Version: 2025.3.2 (no issues)
- Project Size: Working directory contains ~900 files in the target folder
Steps to Reproduce:
- Open a project with a large directory containing ~900 files
- Navigate to a folder in the project structure
- Click on the file path search box at the top of the editor (see highlighted area in screenshot)
- Start typing to search/filter files within that directory
- Result: IntelliJ freezes for ~60 seconds before displaying results
Screenshot:
Questions:
- Is this a known issue in version 2025.3.5?
- Should I roll back to 2025.3.2 while waiting for a fix?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello Yashwanth Thati
I tried to reproduce your issue with ~265145 files, but wasn't able to on my end. As I see in the image, the file name starts with the same “Http2” fragment; is this for the ~900 files?
I think the root cause could be related to something other than the number of files but to investigate further, I need you to collect the logs immediately after the issue is reproduced by going to Help | Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data (don't perform any other action), close the IDE and then attach the zip file here or via our secure upload site https://uploads.jetbrains.com/, and share the uploadID.
Hi Monica,
I've performed the action, please find the upload ID: 2026_05_27_56CyAMAW5hU6KWwcAzGWqA (file: idea-logs-20260527-11545913577474728382686462.zip)
Hi Yashwanth Thati
Thanks for the logs. I reviewed them and identified the problem, which is not primarily caused by the target directory having ~900 files by itself, nor by a generic memory-size issue. The direct freeze stack shows the UI thread blocked while the Navigation Bar speed-search list is being refiltered and relaid out.
We already have an open bug for this problem, IJPL-237769. Please subscribe to it for further updates and upvote so we can see the real number of affected users.
Hi Monica
I am unable to open IJPL-237769. It says: "Nope, can't find it! It could mean that the URL points to a page that doesn't exist, or the URL is correct and you don't have permission to view this content. Please make sure that you are logged in."
Will the fix be backported to 2025.3.5?
Thanks.
Hi Yashwanth Thati
Now you can check it.
Regarding the fix being backported, I can't confirm whether it will be. The issue is still open, and we are working on a solution. But as soon as an update comes out, you'll be able to see it in the ticket.
