Commit button missing using Git / Intellij 2018.1.4 / Java 10 / Ubuntu 16.04 using KDE Plasma

What IDE theme do you use? Are there any third-party themes installed?

There was a similar issue reported that was caused by outdated MaterialUI plugin, maybe, in this case, it is also caused by some custom plugin?

Hi Dmitriy,

Thanks for your comment. I did see that answer and I didnt have that plug-in installed - although I had two custom plugins installed, one was the Scala one and the other the Intellij Trainer - both were offered to me during the initial set-up install process.. I removed those and re-started my intellij but still the same. I also removed my Intellij version 2018.1.3 and installed the latest version 2018.1.4 but still the same issues.

1. Enabled Plug-ins

2. Custom Plug-ins

Probably something specific to KDE/OS you are using.

Are there any errors reported in the log?

Is the Push button in the Push dialog also missing?

Hi Dmitrity, yes the Push button is missing from the Push Dialog. I agree with you that I suspect it has something to do with my KDE/OS although my colleagues have similar set-up and dont have any problems so it looks like its a local problem with my set-up ! :(

Check for the exact exceptions in the log, e,g the one from CahngesViewMnaager looks suspicious.

sorry the last error screenshot wasn't so helpful because it was showing old output - I've re-run it to show related output from today

Why are you running IDE on the Java 10?

Will it help if you run it with the bundled JetBrains?

I am not sure I havent tried that - I deliberately downloaded the unbundled version because I wanted to use my locally installed version of the JDK which is the Oracle JDK version and not the openJDK version.

So, it does not work with the bundled Jetbrains JRE either?

Why do you need to use Oracale JDK and not the OpenJDK to run IDE? Note that the JRE IDE uses to run is not related to the JDK you use in your projects.

Hi Dmitriy,

Its funny but my colleague was having the same problem as me and tried what you suggested above and that seems to have worked.

So just for clarity, the solution seems to be to download the Intellij version which contains the JDK (as opposed to the no-jdk version). Once you have installed Intellij you can then assign your projects to use the locally installed version of Java - in my case Java 10.

Now,

(a) my fonts are displaying correctly again,

(b) I can choose the Darcula theme and

(c) the Commit button is back.

Thanks for the update, glad it works.

It is generally recommended to use bundled JRE to run IDEA. The reason we use bundled JRE maintained by JetBrains is to ensure IDE works fine with it.
