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

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.


click the button on the left of Debug View called "restore layout",then the console will go back in the Debug View! 1
