# PHPStorm Issues
## Environment
Ubuntu 14.04 / phpStorm 9.0.2 / OpenJDK 1.7.0_79 / Acer Aspire TimelineX
## Bugs
The IDE occassionally stalls such that I can no longer edit, or make any changes whatsoever to any
tabs that remain open. Neither can I move the caret around using up/down keys. If I switch to another project (in the same window) I cannot
edit these files either. The only "Fix" is to restart the IDE.
I have also observed this in casual use without the use of this shortcut.
Create new project dialogue > specify parameters for a new server > Type something: Cannot undo typing (Ctrl+z configured in keymap)
## Improvements
The ability to have more than one project open at a time like Netbeans and I believe from memory, Eclipse does also.
Move "View" > "Recent Files" feature under the "File" menu, like almost every other desktop program has it. Making it open the recent files on hover
rather than making the user click to reveal, would also help a lot (Again, like other deskop apps e.g. NetBeans, Gedit etc).
In search results, only "child items" of a class in the results, are clickable for opening in the editor. Double-clicking the parent class for example
just expands / collapses it. Double-clicking should open it, and expand / collapse should be left to clicking the arrow toggle icon.
When opening the IDE, the splash screen does not tab to the background using Alt+Tab. This means for the duration of start-time
my view of all other currently open apps, is obscured by the blue square.
Consolidate all the related "New" menu-items in the main "File" menu so mousing-over "New" generates a flyout menu with "Document, Project, Project from existing sources" (etc).
At the moment "New"-like menu-options are not visually related.
Ditto for "Open" menu items
Ditto for "Find" menu items
Ditto for "Save" menu items
Move "Recent Files" under the "Open" sub-menu of the main "File" menu
