IntelliJ complains that "Refactorings should not be started inside write action"

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug I got this exception in the logs today, dunno when/what triggered it. I guess they added new checks with the recent update.

Refactorings should not be started inside write action
 because they start progress inside and any read action from the progress task would cause the deadlock
