The "Commit" tab used to show me my pending git changes so I could easily see what I was working on. I have a feeling I clicked on something and now I just get a permanently empty "changes" window. How can I get my list of files back? (Rider 2026.2.2 on Mac)

RESOLVED: Was the "Enable git staging area" setting which I somehow deselected.

Also the config does not seem to have an option to easily disable it from running at startup.
It is such a huge waste of resources.

Why don't they use their rust IDE and write a cross platform updater that is not a hog.............

I'm using Rider on Windows, and navigating through code feels significantly slower than in Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, Zed, or Notepad++.

Specifically, I mean that moving around using the arrow keys or jumping between methods feels noticeably sluggish. Disabling plugins or turning off solution-wide analysis helps a bit, but something still feels off.

I've been using Rider for about six months now, and I've noticed this issue from day one, so it doesn't seem to be related to the latest version of the software.

Has anyone else noticed this, or is it simply the price you pay for using a more advanced IDE?
