Select home directory dialog can't select a directory - intellij-idea

I want to select a new home directory for JDK, as I want to use a newer JDK. However, when selecting NEW -> JDK in the Project SDK settings, a Windows XP style dialog opens up, in which I can only select files and not directories. When I select an arbitrary file in the directory I really want to select, nothing happens.
This is the dialog I get:
This also applies to other projects, I have already invalidated my Caches and I'm sure it has worked once upon a time. This is the result I receive from "About":

Note that I have the same post on the IntelliJ support forum.

Deleting the file ide.general.xml solves the issue. It is not an elegant solution, because this seems to be a bug on the side of IntelliJ (see this ticket).
The problem is, that when syncing settings via the settings repository on Linux and Windows, weird things happen.

Intellij Ultimate 2016.2.5 wsl2 path not shown

I have to use intellij 2016.2 ultimate based on license constraints.
I want to use it with wsl2 and I installed intellij on windows.
The problem I have, is that in the project explorer my wsl path is not shown.
Earlier, I used the latest community edition which works fine with this setup.
Is wsl2 supported with intellij 2016.2 or is there an additional setup I have to take in concern

How can I open .zul file in Intellij?

I have downloaded the ZK plugin, but when I create a .zul file, it is just recognized as an unknown file for intellij. I tried resetting cache and rebooting, didn't make a difference..
Is there a way to connect the plugin to the extension? Am I missing something here?
I had quite the opposite experience, I created a .zul file and IntelliJ automatically suggested something like: "There's a plugin available that handles .zul files, would you like to install download and it?" -> confirmed and restarted ... Then .zul files are registered as XML files under Settings/File Types and code completion is working.
Not sure how this is failing for you, can you provide your version details including the plugins installed?

IntelliJ 2019.2 Services tool window missing

I just updated to IntelliJ 2019.2 but I can't find the new Services tool window (described here). Neither View - Tool Windows - Services nor Alt + 8 is showing it. What am I missing?

The tool window automatically pops up when you run something related to a managed service (for example, run a Docker container). However, in case of run/debug configurations, you have to specify which types you want to be available in the Services tool window. For this, go to Run | Edit Configurations, select Templates, and add necessary configuration types to the Configurations available in Services list: https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2019/08/services-tool-window-one-place-to-rule-them-all/

Font is installed but doesn't show in the menu of JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA

I have updated IntelliJ IDEA recently (I have the latest possible version and build at the moment - see at the bottom) and since then my previously well chosen font with ligatures doesn't show anymore (I don't remember its name). Previously the fonts were provided in a menu, 5-6 of them and you would choose one within the IDE, but now there are a lot of fonts to choose from which I guess are taken from the system.
However, I followed these instructions from this post but still the font is not showing in the menu.
I have installed the font Fira Code (all available .ttf files: Bold, Light, Medium, Regular and Retina) on Windows, so e.g. it is available in Microsoft Word:
but even after restart it is not available in IntelliJ IDEA:
Any suggestion how to fix this?

The font must be installed as an Administrator (install for all users option).
You do this by opening the context menu of the font file, then click "Install for all users".

IntelliJ replacing $MODULE_DIR$ with physical path

I am using IntelliJ & facing an issue.
In module properties under Path tab, I wanted my output path to be like "$MODULE_DIR$\bin" but when i am trying to check-in into my repository, its replacing "$MODULE_DIR$" with actual physical path. So if someone else will checkout that .iml file will have my module's physical path.
Did someone please confirm if this issue is resolved or it is still an issue?
