Android Studio 4.1.1- MacOS BigSur - Freezing Problem in FullScreen
I am using the latest version of Android Studio (4.1.1). After updating the Mac operating system, Android Studio started encountering strange errors.
The most annoying problem I have ever had. When I want to open a new github branch, the window appears as below and freezes.
This is what it should normally look like.
Of course, this is the only window problem I've noticed. The most important problem here is that the screen freezes and no action can be taken.
If people who have problems or have a solution on this issue share it with me, everyone will benefit. Thank you.
Edit : This issue has been officially resolved in Android Studio 4.2.
Answer
The problem is that when macOS is set to prefer tabs, Android Studio 4.1.1 on macOS Big Sur also opens things like branch settings in tabs instead of windows.
To fix it, you can prevent those tabs only in Android Studio.
Open Terminal and run this command:
defaults write com.google.android.studio AppleWindowTabbingMode manual
Now Android Studio will use windows again and not crash.
