UI Issue with Adding a Python Interpreter in PyCharm

October 22, 2026 06:49 Updated

Problem

In PyCharm, the dropdown arrow and folder icons within the interface for adding a new local Python interpreter overlay each other, making it difficult to interact with the folder icon.

Cause

This issue was identified to be caused by a third-party plugin, specifically the "Material Theme UI" plugin, which inadvertently affects the user interface layout.

Resolution

To resolve this issue:

Open PyCharm settings.
Navigate to File | Settings | Plugins.
Disable the plugin named "Material Theme UI" by clicking its associated checkbox.
Restart PyCharm.

Disabling this plugin should restore the correct layout of the interface, separating the conflicting icons.
