IntelliJ IDEA 2026.1.2 Is Out! | The IntelliJ IDEA Blog

IntelliJ IDEA 2026.1.2 has been released, offering a range of fixes and improvements to enhance user experience. The update can be accessed from within the IDE, via the Toolbox App, or through snaps for Ubuntu users, with a download option available on the website. Key fixes include the ability to open projects correctly via .ipr files generated by the Gradle idea task, corrected indentation for Java ternary expressions with chained method calls, and resolved issues where pressing Alt+Enter on Windows inadvertently opened the context menu. Additional improvements include the proper functioning of live templates with groovyScript, the ability to drag and drop code without it disappearing, and the option to open diffs in external tools by double-clicking a file in the Commit tool window. Furthermore, the update addresses illegal character errors reported by the MCP Server for projects with spaces in their paths, ensures workspaces function correctly, and resolves several IDE freezes. For more detailed information about the resolved issues, users are encouraged to refer to the release notes and report any new bugs to the issue tracker.
