Markdown plugin for IntelliJ not showing preview

On Windows 10, I'm using IntelliJ version 2022.2.2. I have the bundled Markdown plugin enabled:

However, when working on a markdown file (.md), the preview is completely gray, as visible on the right side of the following image:

Do you know what can be causing this issue, and how to solve it?

I've tried to disable and enable the plugin again, or to open different markdown files from different IntelliJ projects, but the problem remains the same.

Solution

  • Please add ide.browser.jcef.gpu.disable=true in Help | Edit Custom Properties and restart the IDE.

    This option disables GPU acceleration for the browser component (JCEF) which seems to fail on your hardware for some reason.
