IntelliJ IDEA - Enter cannot open file in Search Everywhere

Question

I usually find a file by press Shift Shift, search by name then Enter to open file.

A few couple of days back, when I find files it shows a list of files as usual but it opens nothing when I hit Enter which is really strange. Ctrl Shift N still works perfectly, however. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

Answer 1

It's a known bug in IntelliJ IDEA 2018.2.5 on Linux.

Your options now are as follows:

1. Use 2018.3 EAP
2. Revert to 2018.2.4
3. Wait for 2018.2.6 bugfix update
4. Enable new.search.everywhere in Help | Find Action, Experimental Features dialog.
