When I type the letter g in Intellij terminal the foreground and background color of the letter changes to grey. Typing the next letter changes it back to the normal colors. What could be causing this weird behavior?

in Intellij Idea on mac, I wanted to remove the extra lint warning yellow marker lines from the scrollbar (still wanted to keep the red & green markers), but upon applying, ALL lines disappeared, so I reenabled all warnings (in editor->inspections) but still nothing on the scrollbar.
How do I get those warnings back?
PS: I should mention the scrollbar is now transparent such that it overlays the code window. It wasn't before so I think resetting that might fix the problem
You can restore to defaults by clicking the cog icon like down below.
It's important to check the Stripe Mark Settings in the Color Scheme. Stripe Marks are responsible for the little colored boxes in the vertical scrollbar of the Editor.
I've installed Oh My Zsh with the Powerlevel10k theme. It looks fine in a regular terminal:
But in IntelliJ IDEA there appears to be some "padding" in console lines that cause the background colors to span taller than the height of the angle symbols:
I've tried overriding the default in Editor > Color Scheme > Console Font to set Line Spacing to 1.0:
In fact even setting this to 0.8 or less, while scrunching the text, doesn't seem to have any effect on the mismatched background color heights, leading me to believe it's not a problem with line spacing.
I know this is super minor and that's why I've lived with it for several months now, but it would make me very happy if someone knew how to fix this.
It is a known issue. Please vote for IDEA-219163.
UPD: The issue has been fixed in 2020.3 IDE versions.
I am using Intellij Idea 14.1.3 on Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.3. Often, while debugging, I want to introduce a break point by clicking on the left margin (called the 'gutter' in Intellij). The problem is that on many lines, there is no space to click. No matter how I try, the click happens on an icon already present ... which is not what I want to do. Attached a screenshot to show this
How can I increase the gutter width so that there is some empty space even where the little green override symbols are present?
It doesn't seem there is a way to configure the gutter size, it just resizes dynamically. I'd suggest raising an issue in the issue tracker.
As a workaround you can set a breakpoint on any line via the editor window. Set the caret on the line to stop at, and press ⌘+F8 (on a Mac).
This appears to be fixed in some future release of IntelliJ:

I'm not sure how or when this happened. But its annoying and I can't seem to find a way to fix it.
I use subversion and when I open the VCS commit window, the area for the commit message has a white background. Nice, but I use white text with a very dark background (settings->color->general->default text). For reasons unknown, this message area picks up all properties of the 'default text' except the background color. Thus I am unable to see anything I write as it is white on white. I have to highlight the text (that foreground/background does work) to see my mistakes.
Anyone have any idea what controls that background color and where to find it?
In IntelliJ when searching for text (Control-F), F3 moves to the next occurrence. Unfortunately when it finds the next occurrence, it doesn't vertically center the text. ie, it scrolls the editor such that the next occurrence is at the bottom of the screen. What I want is for it to scroll such that the next occurrence is centered vertically (like Eclipse and vim does).
I'm running IntelliJ 10.5.1 on OS X 10.6.
Follow-up: I have Prefer scrolling editor canvas to keep caret line centered enabled. In some instances it centers, other times it does not. The above setting doesn't seem to impact this behavior.
Settings > IDE Settings > Editor
Choose Prefer scrolling editor canvas to keep caret line centered
