Hi Nicolas,

I am also facing the same issue.

I have found the solution for this. select the sonar icon from left side of the IDE like when you analyze a file. There is a small icon(with hammer and a wrench) which say configure sonarQube for IDE. click on that icon and it will open the configuration page with Plus icon

Hello, apologies for the delayed reply - this one slipped through our radar!

The issue shown in your screenshot occurs because the window is too small to display the component with your connections. If you increase the height or width, it should become visible.

We agree this isn’t a great user experience, and we’ll look into improving it to prevent such display issues in the future. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!
