Fix slow Intellij IDEA debugger
2 min readFeb 26, 2023
Today, I encounter a problem where I needed to use debug option on Intellij but the debugger was so damn slow, that it made me cry instead.
It was an urgent task and I need to debug the issue asap. After wasting my whole day, I came to a solution :) and wanted to share the same with you.
Turn off two debugger options:
- Turn off the Alternate view for Collections classes by un-selecting the “Enable alternative view for Collections classes” check box.
- Turn off the “ToString” mode by clearing the “Enable ‘toString’ object view” check box on the settings page.
In simple words, please disable the following setting:
- Disable ‘alternate views for collection classes’.
- Disable the ‘ toString()’ object view.
