IntelliJ IDEA Cmd+Shift+A (Find Action) causes error log: "Nothing appropriate" in a yellow terminal titled "apropos"

When merging/rebasing branches I usually press cmd+shift+A and search "Resolve conflicts".

This works once per session and if I do it a second time the following error log pops up, and the cmd+shift+A window closes immediately.

A workaround is to close the project and reopen it (each time I need to resolve conflicts).

Anyone know what is causing this and how I can fix it?
