IntelliJ IDEA 2017 - Missing Debug window

My Intellij Debugger window went missing and I can't find any resources on how to get it back, the closest think I can get to my problem is a missing console window but that doesn't help. So I'm hoping someone here can help me retrieve it.

This pic shows a normal Intellij IDE (that I got from my friend) that shows the tab that's missing for me (in red) and the area in which this tab normally shows (in yellow).

And this pic shows my IDE with the missing Debugger window.

I also opened Intellij's help dialogue which claims that the window will show up when your code hits a break point but that didn't do it for me either.

Solution

  • Try the "restore layout" button at the left toolbar of the debugger toolwindow
