Bug: Pressing key combo to open popup tries to search instead on IntelliJ IDEA 2018.1

[msheakoski]

Pressing alt-M or alt-shift-M causes a search to open within String Manipulation instead of the usual menu. This didn't start happening until IntelliJ IDEA 2018.1. Pressing esc or backspace clears the search and then the intended menu appears.

Works fine for me.

I also tried changing the keymap to something like shift-M to test. It seems to forward whatever letter/number you press to String Manipulation's search feature. In this case, it opened the popup and tried searching for "M".

maybe some other software or plugin causes that? how about a completely different shortcut?

Still experiencing this issue on 5.8.143.000.0. I completely erased the IDEA preferences dir, created a new empty project, opened up a plain text scratch file, assigned the String Manipulation shortcut to "x". When I press the "x" key, the String Manipulation popup appears in search mode with the query "x" filled in. I need to press backspace or esc to see the actual menu. Here is more information about the IDEA and JVM which might be helpful:

"x" shortcut does that for me too, that is IntelliJ issue. But try ctrl+alt+shift+x

Pressing option-M or option-shift-M

Try to bind option-M or option-shift-M to for example Main menu | Code | Generate..., and if it does the same thing, then report it to JetBrains.

@krasa it does the same thing... JetBrains Bug

use the menu, it's ok

FYI, as of 2018.1.5 I am no longer experiencing this issue.
