IntelliJ IDEA on OS X

Driving me nuts.

If you are a developer on OS X and you are customer of JetBrains using IDEA the Java IDE, it is a cloudy year for you!

There are two critical bugs that haven’t been fixed in over 6 months since being reported to JetBrains. IDEA enabled my fulltime switch to OS X and now it is unusable after 4 – 5 open files or half a work day. Whichever comes first.

Check it out:

Hidden editor tabs:

CPU spike after every compilation:

Unfortunately, there is no viable workaround.

Come on JetBrains! Fix it!
