For intelliJ 12.X how do i get the console back in the debugger?

Question

Just like this question here:

IntelliJ: After hiding my "Output" sub-panel within the "Debug" panel, how do I get it back?

I canno get the log/console viewer back in debug mode.

The suggested solution in the given question no longer works the "restore layout" button does nothing, and the "certain spot" on the debug is extremely vague at best.

Is there a way to retrieve the console if it gets vanished (or better yet, just stop that button for vanishing it from even existing)?

Answer 1

I am using IntelliJ 12 Ultimate. If the restore layout didn't work for you either, this should fix the problem:

1. Open the Debug panel.
2. Keep mouse on the Debug tab and move it straight right to the Watches icon.
3. You may see a few more more icons here, and Output may or may not be visible (not visible for me)
4. If visible, click it and the Output view will be restored.
5. If not visible, move your mouse slowly to either side of the Watches icon and an empty block would highlight indicating that you are hovering over an icon. There may be several of these. Use tooltip to figure out which is Ouput and click it.

Worked for me, I hope it works for you too.
