(Bug report mentions PHPstorm but it manifests on CLion, GoLand, and others.) This is clearly an Apple bug as well as possibly a bug in Jetbrains' UI or other native libraries or maybe upstream in the JVM. It's an Apple bug because it can bring down the whole system, sometimes with an absolute hardest possible crash that generates no debug logs! Sometimes it also just crashes the JVM. Sometimes it's a softer crash wi…

Interestingly, one commenter posted that switching to OpenJDK fixes it. So it's some interaction between the hardware, the JRE, and JetBrains. I look forward to the post-mortem for this one.

Read more. It doesn't, though it may be less frequent under OpenJDK (hard to tell as its random). Disabling newer GCs, SSE, and AVX has no effect either.

My favorite is that nothing else triggers it. Just this app. So, so bizarre. I am wondering about some mega obscure Intel errata, some specific pattern of highly improbable opcodes combined with some pattern of multithreaded memory operations...

My money is still on video though.

I too await the postmortem.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

No? Just login to your JetBrains Account and it should just work in my experience? No need to fiddle around with license keys.

nope, it just says "no suitable licenses found" even though i got the email that i updated.

Something is wrong with your account. You should have support look into it.

I just login into my account on the IDE and all licenses are automatically imported.
