Description

In the new version, it seems that whenever the chat is open, trying to focus anything in the ide (editor, file-browser, etc) causes a quick flicker and re-focuses the chat immediately.

This issue does not seem to be present in 0.0.78.

NOTE: This might be an issue with my Window Manager (Hyprland). It quite frequently causes issues with XWayland Apps, but since this does not happen in 0.0.78, i thought reporting it here might be the best idea. Apparently also happens on other DE's like KDE, see first reply.

To reproduce

• Open the Chat on the sidebar
• Click the chat input window
• Try to focus anything else with the mouse cursor
• It Fails

I'm also encountering this on debian 12 KDE XWayland with Rider

[Vilsol]

Encountering the same issue.

Continue 0.0.80
GNOME Shell 46.4
GoLand 2024.3 Beta (Build #GO-243.21565.42, built on October 31, 2024)
The X.Org Foundation Xwayland Version 24.1.3 (12401003)
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0

Opening IDE in wayland mode and clicking on continue tab completely breaks everything. (https://blog.jetbrains.com/platform/2024/07/wayland-support-preview-in-2024-2/). Continue opens in a new window and makes it impossible to focus the IDE.

This bug is stil present in 0.0.81

[Jaizkibel]

Does not seem to be a Wayland only error. I experience the same behavior on Linux Mint with nouveau driver

Plugin version 0.0.81

[mphilippnv]

I just tried 0.0.81 on Pycharm 2024.2.4 on Ubuntu 22.04 and same issue.

This is on xorg, not wayland.

For everyone experiencing this, do you have the "Enable Off-Screen Rendering" option checked? I would recommend unchecking if so and reloading the window to see if this resolves it. That is (with 95% certainty) the change introduced that caused this behavior

On my affected system, off-screen rendering was initially unchecked.

I've now enabled off-screen rendering and the focus issue is gone. So this option seems to be connected to the issue, just the other way around?

Just as @pwuertz I also had it unchecked. Checking it and restarting the IDE has solved the problem for me. But now I can't copy and paste, before that I could using right-click at least

[mphilippnv]

Mine was unchecked so I checked it then restarted IDE. This fixed the focus issue, but like eliorc, I was no longer able to paste content. So, I unchecked it and restarted IDE again and the focus issue came back.

[sestinj]

Got it, thanks everyone for the detail here. Everything I'm hearing confirms the hypothesis, so we'll get out a version later today with the fix.

Hi all, thanks for your patience with this. I introduced this bug so apologies. It's been a bit of whack-a-mole resolving the issue as both the JetBrains & VS Code extensions have issues with certain meta keys, in certain file types, in certain environments, on certain operating systems :sweat_smile:

Other plugins have had similar issues with the specific setting in JetBrains that is requiring us to override certain meta keys, e.g. https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JBR-4407/Inside-JCEF-keyboard-events-on-Linux-have-the-wrong-code-set-and-are-not-recognized-in-the-web-view

However, this PR should now fix the copy/paste/cut bugs for non-MacOS users in JetBrains IDEs: https://github.com/continuedev/continue/pull/2936

It would be greatly appreciated if folks could install 0.0.82 from EAP and verify that things are working on your end: https://docs.continue.dev/troubleshooting#jetbrains-1e

[lunatic-gh]

I just tried 0.0.82.

Enabling "Enable Off-Screen Rendering" fixes the Focus-Issue for me, and the copy-paste bugs seem to be fixed now as well.

[Patrick-Erichsen]

Hi all, we're recommending folks downgrade to 0.0.75 at the moment. Please see this main issue for details: https://github.com/continuedev/continue/issues/2956
