New messages in the status bar are continually being overwritten by old status messages - in this case Header does not match expected text...
So if newer warnings/errors occur I can not see them after a short (one-two second?) period because that one shown above gets placed on top.
This affects compilation, debugging, and even using IdeaVim.
Is there any known solution to this?
You can clear and set up what events do you want to see with settings menu.
"Event Log" window you can enable by click on the status bar. I hope it will help you.

I’m not sure what are these called:
I mean the Show code with my wire stats, Show Memory indicator, etc..
Basically, I’m mostly interested so this autocomplete menu would only show files, or at the very least would prioritise files. How can this be achieved?
I’m in version 2022.2.1.
That popup is called Search Everywhere and you are on an "All" tab that includes combined results from Classes, Files, Symbols, Actions etc.
Either manually switch to the desired tab (using a mouse or by hitting Tab needed number of times) or invoke this popup for the desired search from the start. For that just use the shortcut for Navigate | File... (Ctrl + Shift + N here on Windows keymap).

Found the solution.
These things are called Actions, and the can be disabled in menu that appears after clicking the small funnel icon in the top right:
I tested, these changes seem to 'survive' a restart.
Yes, at the moment it is remembered only during the session.

(P.S. The same happens with Find in Files popup (IDEA-143972) and a few others similar popups as well)
I was unable to find an option allowing to do this. Note that I know how can I hide event log window, I want to hide also its summary form (text on the status bar with icon allowing to bring event log window back).
Ability to filter messages also would solve this problem.
I marked parts of interface that I want to remove.
It is distracting and in my experience it never has an important information.
Even the official documentation has
shows the information about "important" events
(scare quotes are present in original).
You can toggle event log window from menu - View->Tool Windows->Event Log.
Or, you can also hide it by clicking on the icon on the top-right of the Event Log window. The icon looks like a bar (half black and half white) with an arrow facing downward.
If you don't want anything on the Event Log Window, go to Prefrences and disable Notifications. Event Log Window displays notifications so you can disable notification and nothing will be logged.
This will probably sound like a minor issue, but it's completely messing up my workflow:
I have a microservice that I restart frequently to refresh changes. I start in Debug mode, and use the curvy arrow in the upper left of the Debug tool window to stop/start the process.
In the Debug window, there are 2 tabs, Debugger and Console. For weeks, I've kept this on Console, and I can see the service run through startup, and I know when to start hitting endpoints. All of a sudden, whenever I start up, it switches to the Debugger tab, which means I have to manually switch back.
No documentation on this, and didn't find anything with a Google search. Does anyone have something to try?
Thank you
Update:
I start with the focus on Console (the right tab) and it switches to Debugger (the left tab). There is a "Focus on startup" in the context menu for Console, but it has no effect.
I'm not sure this is exactly what you're looking for. If it's not, could you please add some screenshots to the question which might better illustrate the problem? But if it is, here is what I found:
In the Debug tool window you have tabs like Output and Variables, which are probably the tabs you are talking about. You can right click any of these tabs and select Focus On Startup. You probably have this option selected for the wrong tab. So try selecting it for the Output tab.
You can toggle the Focus On Startup behavior for other tabs in the Debug tool window too.
I'm new to intelliJ and sometimes like to use the "tool tips" (or whatever the kids are calling it these days - the thing that pops up when your mouse hovers over it) to find out what the different buttons do.
Annoyingly, sometimes i have to wait more than a heartbeat for the tool tip to appear. Is it possible to edit the speed with which said tips appear in intelliJ when I hover my mouse over a tool-tip-enabled item?
EDIT i am running 12.0.1 - one solution below is for 12.1.3+ (as noted in the comments), any ideas for below 12.1.3
There is a setting in the Settings window.
Edit
This seems to be available from version 12.1.3 only.
You can although edit the idea.vmoptions file and add a line like this at the end:
-Dide.tooltip.initialDelay=200
This makes the tooltip appear much faster (at least in some areas). Try by hovering on a tab in the editor pane. It will pop up very fast. Then close IntelliJ and change the value to 20000 and try again. As you will notice it will take 20 seconds (as expected).
For example try hovering over buttons as you describe in your question. By setting the delay to a very low value the tooltip appears immediately.
Just like this question here:
IntelliJ: After hiding my "Output" sub-panel within the "Debug" panel, how do I get it back?
I canno get the log/console viewer back in debug mode.
The suggested solution in the given question no longer works the "restore layout" button does nothing, and the "certain spot" on the debug is extremely vague at best.
Is there a way to retrieve the console if it gets vanished (or better yet, just stop that button for vanishing it from even existing)?
I am using IntelliJ 12 Ultimate. If the restore layout didn't work for you either, this should fix the problem:
Open the Debug panel.
Keep mouse on the Debug tab and move it straight right to the Watches icon.
You may see a few more more icons here, and Output may or may not be visible (not visible for me)
If visible, click it and the Output view will be restored.
If not visible, move your mouse slowly to either side of the Watches icon and an empty block would highlight indicating that you are hovering over an icon. There may be several of these. Use tooltip to figure out which is Ouput and click it.
Worked for me, I hope it works for you too.
click the button on the left of Debug View called "restore layout",then the console will go back in the Debug View! 1
Syed explained it pretty well, but a picture could be even better:
A view can be hidden via its context menu, then restored by clicking the corresponding icon (with red circle) to the right.
You can restore the layout using this button as of 2018.1.8
In 2016.2, I had to re-run in debug mode for it to reappear. I could not find a way to un-hide the console in the debug window.
You don't say which version of IntelliJ you're using, but I've just tried this in version 12 and the console window minimises to the far right of the debugger tabs. Look at where it says 'Debugger' and then eyes right until you see one or more icons over the Watches panel. Try clicking on them. If you're not using version 12, then only god can help you :)
In v. 2020.1 there is Layout Settings on the top right corner of Debug window
I've just spent an hour trying to get my console output back, and although this answer didn't solve it, it did help.
I'm on Intellij 11.1 Ultimate Edition, and Restore layout didn't help. Nor did I have any icons above the Watches window in the debugger, but I clicked around above the Watches anyway - and suddenly my console output was restored.
I've tried clicking around there again to see if I can provide more concrete steps, but without success. Can only suggest you keep clicking till it reappears.
