I am using IntelliJ IDEA 2024.1.1 (Community Edition).

All my Java files are showing as Orange Icons (with a coffe cup) in the Project File Browser on the left hand side. I click on the file name and nothing happens. If I then right click on the file and Click on “Reload from Disk”, then the the file name turns white, and I can then click on the file and it opens for editing in the main Window.

However, if I shut down the IDE or click on the menu item: “File -> Reload all from disk”, then the files turn orange again and can’t be opened. I have tried invalidating the cache and restarting – but it does not work.

I have noticed on Startup that the files are fleetingly white for a while before they turn orange.
