rename refactor (⌥⌘R) shows dialog but does not rename local variables on macOS in 2025.1.5.1
On macOS in CLion, pressing Option + Command + R (⌥⌘R) on a local variable opens the rename dialog as expected. However, when clicking “Refactor” (or pressing Enter), nothing happens — the variable is not renamed.

Hi Zhoujiazhiwork!

1. Cmake
2. This issue appeared in 2025.1.5.1, but after upgrading to 2025.2.1 today, it has disappeared.
3. Not CLion Nova — I’m using classic CLion.

Even after upgrading to CLion 2025.2.1, it seems there are many small bugs that didn’t exist in the older version (I can’t remember which version I upgraded from). To be honest, I regret upgrading— the new version seems to have more issues than the old one. I may open issues for these small bugs when I have time.
Zhoujiazhiwork, thank you for the update!
If you do, please open them in the CLion issue tracker - https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/CPP. Thank you!
Also, please be aware that we don’t plan to allocate further resources to the development of the legacy CLion Classic engine (see this blog post). All new language-specific features will be available only in CLion Nova.
