When I switch out of the IntelliJ IDEA window and switch back, I have to wait for project folder to import again. If I am insider a file and working on something, it closes all of it out. On the bottom right it says it's "importing project" again. Here is a quick demo
I looked through the settings to see if there were any ways to turn this off. I also couldn't find much online regarding this issue. I'm expecting the project folder to now close whenever I switch to a different window

Some weird issues can occur when IntelliJ's caches are corrupt. Alternatively, try disabling Maven or Gradle automatic import; maybe IntelliJ somehow thinks your build.gradle or pom.xml changed and triggers an import. – Mark Rotteveel Commented Mar 16 at 8:47

Reset to default 1This might be best if you asked Intellij people on their community forums.

I couldn't see it actually re-importing your project from the stream. Maybe it was doing it, but it happened so fast I could see it. Typically a re-import would show a progress bar on the bottom right of your screen. And re-import doesn't remove the opened files so I think this is something else.
