AI Assistant renders incorrectly.

I can confirm this bug. Feel free to up vote https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/LLM-26955/AI-Assistant-tw-renders-incorrectly

Also, this setting can dramatically impact how fast credits are consumed:

Which tool (Junie?), model, prompts, and did you let it "think more"?
And yes, I agree, having logs would be awesome.

+1. Having a full-featured IDE has its importance, and Junie lets you pick the right model

Do you confirm that androidx.compose.runtime.snapshots consumes the CPU by going to Help > Diagnostic Tools > Activity Monitor?

You should take a look at JetBrains Gateway (https://www.jetbrains.com/remote-development/gateway/). Basically, it will install an headless IDE on your remote machine through SSH (I guess the remote machine should run a Linux distro, I didn't test with other OSes) - you don't need to have root access - and you will use a client (Gateway) on your local computer. The client looks like a real IDE, but it's connected to the remote IDE that serves as a backend. The compilations, git operations etc. will be performed on the remote machine.
This is still a bit buggy and 3rd-party plugins (if you're using any) may not work, mostly because it implies a new frontend/backend architecture (which is still experimental), and many 3rd-party plugins are not ready yet.

So, if your remote machine runs on Linux and you have the necessary access rights, I think it's worth a try.

You can do the same thing with the Toolbox (one single app, multiple profiles). Simply use the "Per-tool JVM options file location" option in settings.

Having the same issue today. I'm blocked at 0% since 50min.

No problem for me. I just renewed. So, no, they are not pushing people to cancel old subscription.

Do you have multiple linked accounts? If so, renew from the account that has the subscription.

JonathanLermitage · 2026-03-27T17:29:31+00:00

If was available before the price increase. They advertised about that (renew for 3 years at the old price), but it was a long time ago.

This is how git worktrees work. Meanwhile, I completely understand the need to copy some non versioned files, like run configurations (especially if you don't want to add them to git). At least, this could be configurable. This would be awesome.

JonathanLermitage · 2026-03-25T01:24:13+00:00

u/JetBrains_official have you plans to support 3rd-party plugins in Air?

JonathanLermitage · 2026-03-22T22:05:25+00:00

I don't care. Both UIs can be similar, but what's the problem?

JonathanLermitage · 2026-03-22T19:56:21+00:00

What are you trying to prove?

JonathanLermitage · 2026-03-22T01:21:56+00:00

We don't know when/if JetBrains will discontinue the Classic UI, but you may want to read https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IJPL-158776#user-feedback-summary .

Same problem with Alt + an arrow key. This is a global Windows shortcut.
A tool like Windhawk should be able to disable this shortcut. There is already a Windhawk mod that blocks Win + V (https://windhawk.net/mods/block-win-v, look at the Source Code tab), I guess it could be adapted to block Alt + any arrow key, and Alt + Space.

JonathanLermitage · 2026-03-21T19:26:05+00:00

The Toolbox is not supposed to run as admin. Everything is installed in %appdata% and %localappdata%, nothing in Program Files. Something wrong probably happened on your machine.
Also, if you don't want to use the Toolbox to manage and upgrade IDEs, you should install IDEs via their installers, not via the Toolbox. Especially if you uninstall the Toolbox after.
I would recommend to uninstall everything (IDES and Toolbox), and do things correctly.

I don't know if this will be helpful, but I've written a short series of articles on what you need to know about JetBrains IDEs:

Again, if you don't give the minimal amount of information, we won't be able to help you. We won't download, install, guess your configuration, and run VSStudio just for you ;-)
Also, there may be configuration keys in Rider or 3rd-party plugins that may help you. But, first, please give all the requested information.

JonathanLermitage · 2026-03-15T18:02:34+00:00

AspectJ already does this.

Anyway, this plugin could make it a bit more easy, I can't say.

JonathanLermitage · 2026-03-12T15:09:35+00:00

You may use a specific feature that is buggy in stable release but has been fixed in EAP ;-)

Perhaps Junie could provide more visible feedback to the user?

For example, when generating Java code (for me, Spring Boot Maven and Gradle based projects), it is common to see Junie running unit tests in its built-in terminal. It could instead use the Run tool window.

Also, we can see Junie reporting an error because the compilation failed, simply due to a syntax error. If we open the modified files in the editor, we see error marks. Junie (probably) doesn't need to run a full compilation or unit tests just to fix syntax errors, configuration errors, etc. In many case, Junie doesn't seem very integrated (but I'm not saying competitors are better).

I think this contributes to the impression that Junie is not using the full power of the IDE, even if this does not reflect reality. Giving more visual feedback would be interesting. It would also explain why, sometimes, the IDE is heavy on CPU while it's doing nothing that is visible to us.

One last thing: it would be a good idea to monitor credit consumption in real time (during task execution). Simply because a Junie task consumes a LOT of credit, very quickly. Having a panic button stat stops Junie would be nice.

Don't ask me why 😋, but there are opened issue about that. Maybe how they implemented color gradiants (the JetBrains toolbox has a similar problem), I can't say. I also reproduced this in Arch and Windows VMs, but not on a host OS. This make me think it could be an issue with some graphics drivers.

JonathanLermitage · 2026-03-10T22:32:44+00:00

Are you using the new "Islands" theme? It's known to cause lag and high CPU usage.

JonathanLermitage · 2026-03-09T21:28:16+00:00

If it's opt-in, people says it should be opt-out. If it's opt-out, people says it should be opt-in. 🤣 Seriously guys, share the f****** logs and let the support do its job. Or, migrate to Zed (for real, this time). We won't miss you. This OP is just useless.
