    What’s fixed in IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2

    IntelliJ IDEA ships 2026.2 with major stability and usability improvements, including more than 1,300 bug fixes, faster performance, smoother Markdown editing, better Spring, Thymeleaf, and Kotlin support, plus improved editor navigation and plugin handling.

    Performance

    Welcome to an overview of the most important fixes and usability improvements in IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2.

    This release brings more than 1,300 bug fixes and usability improvements, and it addresses 140 freezes and other performance issues identified through internal diagnostics and user reports. Below is a recap of the most impactful updates.

    Responsiveness remains a top priority. IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2 includes fixes for more than 140 freezes and other performance issues.

    When editing Markdown files, the IDE is now much more responsive, improving the experience of writing specifications for agents

    Projects opened natively in WSL or Docker environments should stall less often.

    Editor file saves are now asynchronous. Writing a file to disk no longer blocks the UI thread, reducing the likelihood of freezes during save operations. If you develop IDE plugins, please refer to this dedicated blog post for migration guidance.

    The custom file chooser now loads directories using asynchronous I/O and lazily expandable nodes, reducing UI freezes and making navigation more responsive in large or remote directory structures. The custom file chooser is primarily used in WSL, Dev Containers, and remote development environments, but you can also use it more broadly by disabling the Use native file chooser dialog option in Advanced Settings on Windows or macOS.

    The loading of Spring configuration metadata is also faster and more stable. We resolved issues that could cause excessive memory consumption, endless metadata collection loops, and exceptions during Spring Boot configuration analysis.

    Spring

    To ensure readability and help you better understand code written by others, whether humans or agents, we are doubling down on fixes related to code resolution, navigation, and usage detection.

    Note that some of these improvements are planned for the IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2.1 update.

    Spring Boot configuration properties

    IntelliJ IDEA now handles more configuration patterns correctly in application.properties files, YAML files, annotations, test configurations, Kotlin classes, Java records, nested objects, maps, lists, and custom configuration classes. Resolution, highlighting, completion, navigation, and @ConfigurationProperties mapping have all been improved.

    See YouTrack issue IDEA-370087 for the full list of fixes.

    Spring Security 2026.2.1

    IntelliJ IDEA recognizes more ways to define request matchers, including paths supplied as arrays, the requestMatchers(RequestMatcher...) overload, and matchers created with PathPatternRequestMatcher.pathPattern(...). For example, the IDE will recognize and highlight new RegexRequestMatcher(pattern, method) as a regular expression. SpEL expressions in @PreAuthorize and other security annotations will correctly understand all usages of this.

    New inspections will help identify ordering problems in a SecurityFilterChain, warning you, for example, when requestMatchers() are placed after anyRequest().

    See YouTrack issue IDEA-391028 for the complete list of improvements.

    Spring Cache 2026.2.1

    Support for Spring Cache annotations, including @Cacheable, @CachePut, @CacheEvict, and @Caching, is becoming more accurate, with better SpEL expression validation and proper usage detection for methods referenced only through a #root.target expression

    Additionally, inspections for conflicting @Cacheable and @CachePut, for # prefixes missing from root or result, and others no longer produce false positives.

    See YouTrack issue IDEA-390707 for the full list of fixes.

    Spring Events 2026.2.1

    Improvements to the Spring Events support provide more reliable navigation between event publishers and listeners, including ApplicationListener implementations that listen for a base event type, events published through generic methods, custom generic events implementing ResolvableTypeProvider, and publishEvent calls made through method references

    New inspections warn you when an @EventListener method listens for an early Spring Boot lifecycle and detect potentially incorrect combinations of @TransactionalEventListener and @Transactional that can otherwise fail only at runtime.

    See YouTrack issue IDEA-390826 for the full list of improvements.

    Thymeleaf

    IntelliJ IDEA’s Thymeleaf support is now more reliable across expressions, tags, attributes, JavaScript inlining, completion, and property resolution. The IDE recognizes more expression forms, including inline output, bracket-based map access, nested selections, and T() references, while eliminating false warnings for common Thymeleaf and Layout dialect constructs. JavaScript expressions inside <script th:inline="javascript"> are handled correctly, numeric property keys now resolve as expected, and the Empty tag inspection can be disabled for Thymeleaf templates.

    See YouTrack issue IDEA-370051 for the complete list of updates.

    Kotlin

    Server-side

    We’re continuing to close the gaps between the Java and Kotlin support in Spring-based server-side projects.

    IntelliJ IDEA can now configure Kotlin support for Lombok and other annotation processors through kapt automatically, reducing the amount of manual project setup required. These changes should make mixed Java and Kotlin projects more predictable.

    Kotlin completion in Java code

    IntelliJ IDEA’s Java code completion now also suggest Kotlin extension functions and companion object members. More complete and better sorted suggestions make working in mix-language codebases easier.

    Removal of K1

    With K2 adoption now above 99% across IntelliJ IDEA and Android Studio, we have removed the remaining K1-mode options and relevant code from the product.

    Editor and navigation

    The Markdown integration now supports standard footnotes, allowing the proper use of [^label] syntax. This resolves a long-standing feature request and makes it easier to work with technical documentation, articles, and other reference-heavy content directly in the IDE.

    The IDE now knows how to keep your bookmarks when you switch Git branches. If you want to have your bookmarks preserved, disable the Enable bookmark context restoration on branch switching option in Settings | Advanced Settings.

    When searching for classes, files, or symbols in Search Everywhere, IntelliJ IDEA now remembers the scope you selected, such as Project Files, Project and Libraries, or a custom scope. The same selection is restored automatically the next time you start a search.

    Double-press shortcuts, such as Shift+Shift for Search Everywhere and Ctrl+Ctrl for Run Anything, are now fully customizable in Settings | Keymap.

    User interface

    Islands theme color coding

    Colors assigned to scopes, such as test files or non-project files, remain visible when the tab is active, making it easier to identify the type of file you are currently editing at a glance.

    Bundled plugins

    Deprecation of the Machine Learning Code Completion (Ranking) plugin

    The Machine Learning Code Completion plugin, which improved ranking, is being deprecated and will no longer be bundled with IntelliJ IDEA.

    As AI completion, next edit suggestions, and coding agents have become the main forms of intelligent development assistance, the benefits of ML-based completion ranking have declined significantly.

    The plugin remains available from JetBrains Marketplace, so you can install it separately and continue using it where needed.

    Unbundling of the Task Management and Time Tracking plugins

    The Task Management and Time Tracking plugins have also been removed from the default IntelliJ IDEA distribution.

    Both plugins saw relatively low usage, and unbundling them helps keep the standard installation leaner. Their functionality has not changed, and both plugins can still be installed directly from JetBrains Marketplace.

    More relevant plugin search results

    Plugins will be easier to find, as searching for them in Settings | Plugins now produces better-ranked results.

    Previously, all plugins containing the search text in either their name or description could appear in an arbitrary order, but now name matches are prioritized.

    Conclusion

    Let us know which fixes make the biggest difference in your workflow and where you still encounter friction. Your reports, feedback, and sample projects help us understand which issues have the greatest impact and what we should prioritize next.

    IntelliJ IDEA by JetBrains

    What’s fixed in IntelliJ IDEA 2026.1

    IntelliJ IDEA releases 2026.1 with 1,000+ bug and usability fixes, faster performance, a smoother terminal, stronger Kotlin, Scala and Spring support, UI and VCS upgrades, better database tooling, and new JetBrains Console analytics for organizations.

    Welcome to the overview of fixes and improvements in IntelliJ IDEA 2026.1.

    In this release, we have resolved over 1,000 bugs and usability issues, including 334 reported by users. Below are the most impactful changes that will help you work with greater confidence every day.

    Performance

    We continue to prioritize reliability, working to improve application performance, fix freezes, optimize operations, and cover the most common use cases with metrics. Using our internal tools, we identified and resolved 40 specific scenarios that caused UI freezes.

    However, internal tooling alone cannot uncover every issue. To identify additional cases, we enabled automatic error and freeze reporting in EAP builds. By collecting this data, we gain a real, unfiltered picture of what’s going wrong, how often it happens, and how many users are affected. This allows us to prioritize fixes based on real impact rather than guesswork.

    As always, we prioritize your privacy and security. When using EAP builds, you maintain full control and can disable automatic error and freeze reporting in Settings | Appearance & Behavior | System Settings | Data Sharing. Thank you for helping us build better tools!

    Terminal

    Version 2026.1 enhances your productivity by streamlining the experience offered by the terminal, a crucial workspace for developer workflows involving CLI-based AI agents.

    First, we fixed the Esc behavior – it is now handled by the shell instead of switching focus to the editor, so it does not break the AI-agent workflow. Additionally, Shift+Enter now inserts a new line, making it easier to write multi-line prompts and commands directly. This behavior can be disabled in Settings | Advanced Settings | Terminal.

    We also improved the detection of absolute and relative file paths in terminal output, allowing you to open files and folders with a single click in any context. When you encounter compilation or build errors, or submit a task to an AI coding agent, you can jump directly to the referenced file and review or fix issues faster.

    Link navigation is activated by holding Ctrl (or Cmd on macOS) and clicking – just like in external terminals.

    JVM language support

    Better Kotlin bean registration support

    Kotlin’s strong DSL capabilities are a perfect fit for Spring Framework 7’s BeanRegistrar API. In 2026.1, we’ve made working with programmatic registration as productive as annotation-based configuration.

    The IDE ensures complete visibility into your application structure thanks to the Structure tool window, providing better endpoint visibility, intuitive navigation with gutter icons, integrated HTTP request generation, and path variable support.

    New Kotlin coroutine inspections

    To help maintain code quality, we’ve introduced a set of new inspections for the Kotlin coroutines library, covering common pitfalls.

    Read more about coroutine inspections in this article.

    Scala

    Working with sbt projects inside WSL and Docker containers is now as smooth as working with local projects. We’ve also improved code highlighting performance and sped up sbt project synchronization.

    To reduce cognitive load and provide a more ergonomic UI, we’ve redesigned the Scala code highlighting settings. A new Settings page consolidates previously scattered options, making them cleaner, more intuitive, and easier to access.

    You can now disable built-in inspections when compiler highlighting is sufficient, or configure compilation delay for compiler-based highlighting. Settings for Scala 2 and Scala 3 projects are now independent, and the type-aware highlighting option has been integrated with the rest of the settings.

    You can read more about these updates this article.

    Spring

    Spring support remains a core focus for IntelliJ IDEA. We are committed to maximizing reliability and reducing friction in your daily development.

    In this release, we made a dedicated effort to address issues related to running Spring Boot application from the IDE. There are now even fewer reasons to run your application in the terminal – just run it in the IDE and use the debugger when you need deeper insights.

    Spring Boot 4 API versioning support

    This is a new Spring Boot feature, and we keep improving its support based on your feedback. In this version, we added .yml files support for version configuration, fixed false positives and added a couple of useful inspections, so you get an instant feedback about issues without running the app.

    Flyway DB Migrations

    To ensure a reliable and distraction-free experience, the IDE now verifies migration scripts only when a data source is active, eliminating false-positive errors when the data source is disconnected.

    At the same time, Flyway scripts got correct navigation to the table definitions, and SQL autocompletion for any files and tables defined in them.

    User interface

    With IntelliJ IDEA 2026.1, we’ve continued to prioritize ultimate comfort and an ergonomic UI, ensuring your workspace is as accessible and customizable as your code.

    The long-awaited ability to sync the IDE theme with the OS is now available to Linux users, bringing parity with macOS and Windows. Enable it in Settings |Appearance & Behavior | Appearance.

    The code editor now supports OpenType stylistic sets. Enjoy more expressive typography with your favorite fonts while coding. Configure them via Editor |Font, and preview glyph changes instantly with a helpful tooltip before applying a set.

    Windows users who rely on the keyboard can now bring the IDE’s main menu into focus by pressing the Alt key. This change improves accessibility for screen reader users.

    Version control

    We continue to make small but impactful improvements that reduce friction and support your everyday workflow.

    You can now [coming in 2026.1.1 update] amend any recent commit directly from the Commit tool window – no more ceremonies involving interactive rebase. Simply select the target commit and the necessary changes, then confirm them – the IDE will take care of the rest.

    In addition to Git worktrees, we’ve improved branch workflows by introducing the Checkout & Update action, which pulls all remote changes.

    Furthermore, fetching changes can now be automated – no need for a separate plugin. Enable Fetch remote changes automatically in Settings | Git.

    In-IDE reviews for GitLab merge requests now offer near feature parity with the web interface. Multi-line comments, comment navigation, image uploads, and assignee selection when creating a merge request are all available directly in the IDE, so you can stay focused without switching to the browser.

    The Subversion, Mercurial, and Perforce plugins are no longer bundled with the IDE distribution, but you can still install them from JetBrains Marketplace.

    Databases

    We’ve enhanced the Explain Plan workflow with UI optimizations for the Query Plan tab, an additional separate pane for details about the execution plan row, inner tabs that hold flame graphs, and an action to copy the query plan in the database’s native format.

    JetBrains daemon

    IntelliJ IDEA 2026.1 includes a lightweight background service – jetbrainsd – that handles jetbrains:// protocol links from documentation, learning resources, and external tools, opening them directly in your IDE without requiring you to have the Toolbox App running.

    Sunsetting of Code With Me

    As of version 2026.1, Code With Me will be unbundled from all JetBrains IDEs and will instead be available as a separate plugin on JetBrains Marketplace. Version 2026.1 will be the last IDE release to officially support Code With Me as we gradually sunset the service.

    Read the full announcement and timeline in our blog post.

    Enhanced AI management and analytics for organizations

    We are working hard to provide development teams with centralized control over AI and built-in analytics to understand adoption, usage, and cost. As part of the effort, we’ve introduced the JetBrains Console. It adds visibility into how your teams use AI in practice, including information about active users, credit consumption, and acceptance rates for AI-generated code.

    The JetBrains Console is available to all organizations with a JetBrains AI subscription, providing the trust and visibility required to manage professional-grade development at any scale.

    That’s it for this overview.

    Let us know what you think about the fixes and priorities in this release. Your feedback helps us steer the product so it works best for you!
