Doing a search in Android Studio causes LogCat to stop working?

Question

I'm on a mac using Android Studio 0.5.2

I am running a project and logging via LogCat. It prints normally. Then, I do a file search (cmd + shft + f in file directory) and LogCat no longer prints anything to the console. This has happened a few times. If I completely close the emulator and Android Studio, then restart, it works fine again. This takes a long time and is extremely annoying. I'm trying to familiarize myself with Android, so I do a lot of file searches and this is unacceptable. To be clear, LogCat is showing, but none of my Logs are printing to it.

Is there a way to run a reset of LogCat within Android Studio that can fix this problem?

I am using Android Studio 0.5.8 currently so can't reproduce the issue as you said, But let me give you a way so that you don't need to restart Studio.

Prerequisite

You have to set your environmental variable to access adb commands anywhere through terminal

Try "adb devices" command somewhere to just make sure things are working fine.

Restart Android Studio if it is running .

you will see a Terminal tab inside Android Studio's bottom tab bar panel. open and run the following commands to restart the android debug bridge interface .

adb kill-server

adb start-server

let me know if it works for you.

enjoy the code with Android Studio.
