This happens on windows and mac and on older versions too and its super frustrating. The block select of the vim plugin doesn't work right.
I go into block select mode and highlight stuff:
I go into insert mode, write some characters and exit and look at what it does:
This is driving me nuts! It doesn't insert in all the highlighted lines i can't stand it.
This must have something to do with intellij's bracket awareness because if I highlight a block of unindented text with no formatting it works, like this:
And if I insert and edit and exit it works:
I have no .ideavimrc so its not my own settings. If this isn't a bug, how to get it to work?

IntelliJ keeps moving cursor focus to the Build Output tool window while coding

I'm using IntelliJ IDEA CE, on macOS Monterey, and while coding it frequently builds the code base every few seconds, automatically.
This becomes very frustrating as then the cursor focus would move to the Build Output window while I'm writing my code, after every few seconds. The errors shown in the window are the obvious compile errors as I'm still writing my code.
I tried turning off "Build project automatically" and "Build project" in "Actions on Save" setting but that doesn't help. I'm not sure which setting is causing this problem.

How to make the function (f1...f10) keyboard shortcuts work in IntelliJ

I've noticed that throughout IntelliJ on MacOS, the keyboard shortcuts for anything like command+f2...f10 don't work. Neither do they trigger anything in the OS to the question is what program is catching these keyboard events. Is there any way to force IntelliJ to get them when IntelliJ is open? This happens even if the IntelliJ window is maximized/fullscreen. All other keyboard shortcuts work.

As #y.bedrov kindly pointed out, go to System Preferences->Keyboard and select "Use all F1, F2, etc. as standard function keys." option enabled in "System Preferences -> Keyboard". Then it works :)

IntelliJ IDEA can't show some code characters on a regular basis

As you can see, in my IntelliJ IDEA, some code characters were hidden on the editor. After restarting the IDE, the problem will be solved occasionally. Why did it happen?

I have latest scala plugin for IntelliJ installed as well.
But when I try to create the dotty project using the documentation here, I couldn't see the option. Below is the screen shot.
Do I miss any settings?
Choose SBT first, then on the next step you will be able to select Dotty:

Weird gap in front of cursor in PhpStorm

I am getting a weird gap in my PhpStorm installation as displayed in the GIF. I have another installation for IntelliJ and it also mimics the same behaviour.
I'm on OS X El Capitan and the PhpStorm version is as below:

Yeah, I used to have the same problem. I had the exact same settings on another computer with a larger screen, and that one works fine. Then I just simply change the font-size to be smaller, better to be even number, Now it works fine again. Not sure if this is the solution, but you can try it.
