Jetbrains IDE unusable in spectrwm #422

Closed doums closed 1 year ago

doums commented 3 years ago

Hi,

Since recently, in the Jetbrains IDEs when you want to create a file / folder from the file browser, in the window that opens containing an input to write the name of the file, the pressed keys are not received. This is a big problem because it makes the IDEs almost unusable. Here is the output of xprop on the input window:

WM_STATE(WM_STATE):
        window state: Normal
        icon window: 0x0
_NET_WM_ALLOWED_ACTIONS(ATOM) = _NET_WM_ACTION_CLOSE
_NET_WM_DESKTOP(CARDINAL) = 2
_NET_WM_USER_TIME(CARDINAL) = 55618584
_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DIALOG
_MOTIF_DRAG_RECEIVER_INFO(_MOTIF_DRAG_RECEIVER_INFO) = 0x6c, 0x0, 0x5, 0x0, 0xc0, 0x3, 0x40, 0x1, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x10, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0
XdndAware(ATOM) = BITMAP
_NET_WM_STATE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_TASKBAR, _NET_WM_STATE_ABOVE

        window id # of group leader: 0x140004c
WM_TRANSIENT_FOR(WINDOW): window id # 0x140004c
_NET_WM_PID(CARDINAL) = 88409
WM_CLIENT_MACHINE(STRING) = "mitx"

WM_NORMAL_HINTS(WM_SIZE_HINTS):
        program specified location: 366, 625
        program specified size: 544 by 181
        window gravity: NorthWest
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "jetbrains-webstorm", "jetbrains-webstorm"

WM_NAME(STRING) = "win18"

NOTE: the problem does not exist in dwm.

Same thing happens in BSPWM - what they advise you to do is run wmname LG3D Source

export _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1 Try adding this to your shell rc file

Already the case for me, does not fix the problem.

+1. I'm also having issues with jetbrains in general. Menus don't work properly.

I am trying to get away from bspwm exactly because of these issues, but It seems spectrwm suffers from them too.

Have tried all of those @n3oney, never manage to get all my complex Java apps to run flawlessly on bspwm, fixing one breaks others, I have lost countless hours on this.

dwm seems to get it right, but the pain to solve all the conflicts I get when trying to apply all the patches needed to make it usable for me also puts me off... Will stick to bspwm for now, but will keep watching spectrwm ;)
