I tried to reproduce but couldn’t. Is it possible to post the particular files that you used or an anonymized version of the files that still exhibit the error?

BTW, this might not be related to creating a new project. I see fireProjectClosed in the stack trace. Can you try closing the existing project that you had open and see if it re-produces the error?

Can’t reproduce it as well. Closing the existing project does not reproduce it. Even making another project from the same files doesn’t seem to reproduce it.
I uploaded those files I used in the first place (messed with extension to upload it here). Hope it’ll help.
IStringRowsListSorter.java.txt (2.3 KB)
Task1Impl.java.txt (1.1 KB)

Seems to have been an issue when storing issues on the disk cache. Without a reproducer, we could spend days on it, so I suggest to close this thread and reopen if this happen again.
