IntelliJ collapsing single line methods

Question

Since I've updated my version of intelliJ (14.x to 15.x) it has started automatically collapsing single line methods in the Java editor:

Previous version:

public void setContext(SecurityContext context) {
    this.context = context;
}

Latest version:

public void setContext(SecurityContext context) { this.context = context; }

Is there a way to prevent this? I find the original version much easier on the eyes!

Thanks.

I don't think it formats this code, it just collapses it. When you look on the left border of the code view, there should be a small "+" sign to expand it, like for the `import` block. — Tom, Mar 14 '16 at 18:22
Ah yes, I'll change the wording of the question to reflect this. Thanks! — StuPointerException, Mar 14 '16 at 18:26

Open 'Settings' from the File menu. Under 'Editor' -> 'General' -> 'Code Folding', you will find a 'Collapse by Default' section.

Simply uncheck 'One-line methods' and click OK.

this will also work if you put an opening brace in new line and want to fold it to `{...}` instead of `latest version` of question – Marek May 05 '17 at 09:54

One thing to note : You'll have to re-open the file for the changes to take effect. – Traxex1909 Nov 02 '17 at 07:05

Update: for newer versions of IJ uncheck: File | Settings | Editor | General | Code Folding | Java | One line methods – Scott Jul 25 '20 at 01:25

For mac, Code > Folding > Expand ALL/To Level

There doesn't seem to be such a path; the other answer works on Mac. – Matthew Read Feb 19 '19 at 15:56
