IntelliJ IDEA 2026.1.2 Is Out! | The IntelliJ IDEA Blog

IntelliJ IDEA 2026.1.2 has been released, bringing several important fixes aimed at improving user experience and functionality. Key updates include the ability to open projects correctly via .ipr files generated by the Gradle idea task, fixed indentation for Java ternary expressions with chained method calls, and the resolution of unexpected behavior when pressing Alt+Enter on Windows. Additionally, live templates with groovyScript are functioning as expected, issues with code disappearing when dragged and dropped have been addressed, and users can once again open a diff in an external tool via the Commit tool window. The update also resolves illegal character errors reported by the MCP Server for projects with spaces in their paths and ensures workspaces are operating correctly. Several instances of IDE freezes have been resolved, enhancing the overall stability and performance of the platform. Users can update to this version through various methods, including the IDE itself, the Toolbox App, or by downloading from the website, and are encouraged to report any bugs they encounter.
