What's Wrong?
Hi,
I can't find another report stating this issue that has been recent and not closed. Since mid july, it seems I have a bug in my IDE (Pycharm) when I use Claude in the terminal of the IDE.
The IDE keeps freezing at random times, and I am loosing everything I have been doing since the last backup as I have to force close the IDE. Even when I want to commit and push manually it's impossible when Claude is open (not even in use).
What Should Happen?
Normally, I should use the IDE and Claude without any interruption and smoothly (like it was before july). The screen is not supposed to freeze or crash every few minutes when I use it.
