Hi @Arshi_Khan,

Thank you for reporting this issue, in which context did it happen? So far I don’t see it related to SonarLint, also I have seen a similar case reported on JetBrains [https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-304808](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-304808)

I suggest trying the **[Repair IDE](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/repair-ide.html#:~:text=From%20the%20main%20menu%2C%20select,or%20complete%20the%20recovery%20process.)** action:  
From the main menu, select **File | Repair IDE** and follow the steps
