Remote debugger hangs with latest release of IntelliJ IDEA 2018.3

I support a large app which requires me to make extensive use of IntelliJ's remote debugger. On Friday, I upgraded to the latest version of IntelliJ (2018.3), which appears to have issues around remote debugging. The remote debugger just hangs, I cannot step through the code or do anything, without restarting the app. Sometimes it works just for one iteration and hangs on the second iteration. I ruled out the possibility of it being a problem with having the 'Memory' view expanded (it is minimized).

I found that version 2018.1.6 Build #IU-181.5540.7 is the oldest working version. Already in 2018.1.7 (IntelliJ IDEA 2018.1.7 (Ultimate Edition) Build #IU-181.5540.23, built on November 12, 2018), the remote debugger is not working properly...

Any ideas what may be happening?

I now understand what happened: In the older version of IntelliJ, I had JRebel plugin installed but not enabled. When I upgraded to 2018.3, the JRebel plugin became enabled automatically and I didn't realize what happened. After deactivating JRebel, the remote debugger started working again. Now I'm on the latest version IntelliJ IDEA 2018.3.1 (Ultimate Edition) Build #IU-183.4588.27, built on November 28, 2018 and everything is working smoothly.
