When switching files in the IntelliJ editor, the Claude Code plugin throws an assertion error because NotificationManager attempts to remove a selection listener that no longer matches the registered listener instance (identity comparison fails).
Error:
Assertion failed: Failed to remove listener: com.anthropic.code.plugin.mcp.notifications.NotificationManager$registerSelectionListener$selectionListener$1@17959aa
from editor: EditorImpl[file:///.../KafkaServiceSecondarytoVirtualKafkaClusterPrimaryMapperTest.java]
Stack trace:
java.lang.Throwable: Assertion failed: Failed to remove listener...

at com.intellij.openapi.fileEditor.impl.FileEditorManagerImpl.fireSelectionChanged(FileEditorManagerImpl.kt:1915)
...
Root cause: The listener registered via registerSelectionListener and the one stored for removal are different lambda instances, so removeSelectionListener can't find a match and throws.
Context: Encountered while configuring Claude Code to use the IntelliJ MCP server.
