The terminal runs outside the IDE in IntellijIDEA community edition 2018.1

Question

I used to have the terminal embedded in my IntelliJ IDE but after I updated, whenever I click on the terminal icon, it runs externally in a separate window.

I don't remember having this issue in the previous version of IntelliJ. What configurations do I need to change to make it run inside the IDE? a screenshot

What executable did you configure as the terminal in the IDE settings? — CrazyCoder, Mar 31 '18 at 19:49
@CrazyCoder I'm using git-bash.exe (C:\Program Files\Git\git-bash.exe) — Haya Abdullah, Mar 31 '18 at 21:32

When you open the Terminal, click on the cogwheel on the top right and make sure it's not set to float.

UPDATE

Try following configuration.

The floating mode isn't on. Please checkout the screenshot I just added. – Haya Abdullah Mar 31 '18 at 20:29
Yes I have all these checked. Unfortunately, it didn't help. – Haya Abdullah Mar 31 '18 at 21:34
So the only difference in mine is I'm using 2017.3. Try rolling back to verify if there's a bug in new version. – Prav Mar 31 '18 at 21:36
I tried rolling back as you suggested but it didn't work either – Haya Abdullah Mar 31 '18 at 22:23
