`Show rule description` does nothing for issues older than 30 days

  • Operating system: Windows 10
  • IDE name and flavor/env: IntelliJ IDEA 2024.2.1 CE (242.21829.142), SonarLint plugin 10.9.0.79423

When using intention action (Alt+Enter) on an issue, there is a SonarLint: Show rule description option. However, if you select it on an old issue, i.e. one that is not part of the “new issues from last 30 days”, it doesn’t do anything. As you see on the right-bottom corner on the screenshot, it’ll keep saying “Select a finding to display the rule description”. If you select it on an issue from the list of issues from last 30 days, it displays the description correctly.

Hello @vodoc82730, thank you for notifying us about this. I created this bug ticket that we will tackle for our next release.

Thank you for using SonarLint! :sonarlint:
