Thank you for your bug report. I can confirm that the plugin is not working with intellij 2021.1. At the moment I have no work-around but I will fix it.

First investigation result. It seems that the "code with me" intellij plugin uses "my"-trick for changing the diff view behavior.

                        serviceImplementation="com.jetbrains.rdserver.vcs.BackendServerDiffManager"
                        overrides="true"/>

I do some research how to build around.

Unfortunately I found no way to remove the plugin because its bundled and can only be disabled.

same here. when disabling "code with me" it will work again

@raDiesle - did it work after you disabled code-with-me? When I did it, the plugin still did not work.

Disabling code-with-me worked for me.

Made a bug-report for "code-with-me" https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/CWM-2648

Thanks to the wonderful Jetbrains-engineers. They helped me fixing this issue. The bugfix will be releases with version 1.10.0 which is on its way.

If you still have problems just reopen this issue and do not forget to enable "Code with me"-plugin. :-)
