WebStorm/PhpStorm, issue with terminal on Windows 10

I decided to try Windows 10, but having problem to make terminal works inside WebStorm/PhpStorm.

When I open terminal, sometimes it's completely black, sometimes it loads the project folder but I cannot type there. There is a way to run it in the external window, but I just got accustomed to work with console like internal window inside WebStorm/PhpStorm...

I tried cmd, Power Shell - same results.

Any ideas?

Workaround: Terminal works fine in Windows 10 if you use legacy console.

To do so, open a command prompt window, right click on the title, then select Properties. At the bottom, check "Use legacy console". Confirm the dialog window and go back to WebStorm to launch a new terminal. It should work.

In any case, this is the ticket to watch after:

UPDATE: This issue has now been resolved -- the fix will arrive in next major version -- PhpStorm v10/WebStorm v11 (or whatever that version will be as long as it's based on 142.xx branch or newer).

UPDATE: For those who have problems with right clicking and finding "Properties" menu entry:

Just for the record: I have confirmation from JetBrains that it will be fixed (i.e. work with non-legacy mode) in WebStorm 11 which is scheduled for the beginning of November. In the EAP version it should already work.
