as already described in title, i'm not able to open the project structure dialog window in intellij anymore.

neither the shortcut (Ctrl+alt+shift+s) nor the menu element under File -> Project Structure nor the little button in the upper right corner do work.

Clarification: Menu element :

This "bug" occured suddenly as I wrote a web (vaadin/maven) project and tried to set up glassfish, where i often had to switch to the project structure dialog.

Since the first occurence i wasn't able to fix it by restarting intellij or switching projects.

This also happened on my laptop running the same intellij and windows version (Ultimate 13.0.1 Build: 133.331 on Windows 7 x64)

i appreciate any help!

This also happened to me, but removing new plugins etc didn't help.

Nor did nuking my project and rebuilding it from scratch.

In the end I deleted all caches, restarted Intellij and at last I could access the project settings again! By the way, I'm using Intellij 11.1 - mainly because I can't get 13 to start up, but that's another story
