This appears after updating the Save Actions plugin. Removing the plugin jar file (intellij-plugin-save-actions-1.9.0+2019.3.jar) from .IdeaIC2019.3/config/plugins solves the problem.

Versions IntelliJ IDEA 2019.3.1 (Community Edition) Build #IC-193.5662.53, built on December 18, 2019 Runtime version: 11.0.5+10-b520.17 amd64 VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o Linux 5.4.2-050402-generic GC: ParNew, ConcurrentMarkSweep Memory: 1979M Cores: 12 Registry: Non-Bundled Plugins: ANTLRWorks, CheckStyle-IDEA, Docker, com.vladsch.idea.multimarkdown, org.intellij.scala, org.scalafmt.ScalaFmt, training

(note I captured the above mentioned version info after removing the save actions plugin, hence it is not listed here).

I managed to workaround this in my case by adding “nosplash” as a command line argument.

./idea.sh nosplash

Hope this helps.
