Vanishing popup in Java application (interactivebroker's trading app TWS)

[martin-greentrax]

• Sway Version: 1.8.1

Debug log + sway config: https://gist.github.com/martin-greentrax/99adb82ecfacc1d97519e73b39d37e3d config is the default one with only the Mod key changed as I loaded sway inside sway

Description:

It is very similar to this closed issue: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/4370

This identical problem exists on i3 and sway with interactivebroker's java-based trading application. Here is a screencast showing the problem: https://imgur.com/a/kosdB11

When clicking on a input field (for the limit price of an order) that at the same time offers drop-dop selection of a value, the dropdown is only visible for a fraction of a second and then disappears again. It makes the input field also lose focus, which makes it impossible to select or enter any value. TWS shows an error dialog: Price/Size wand may not show because it can't be opened at the edge of the screen. Please move window towards the center of your screen and try again.

What I tried:

I have _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1 and tried various for_window rules but so far it did not have any effect. In "swaymsg -t get_tree" this little popup shows up as:

floating_con " " (xwayland, pid: 18934, instance: "sun-awt-X11-XDialogPeer", class: "install4j-jclient-Launcher", X11 window: 0x10229A6)

I had a bit of success with the button popup for the font size control, that disappeared when the mouse touched it by adding:

for_window [class="install4j-jclient-Launcher"] sticky enable, floating enable, focus_follows_mouse no But it didn't help with the price input.

I just tried, and my problem is fixed on master, maybe yours as well?

[martin-greentrax]

Sadly no. I just tried the current master @ https://github.com/swaywm/sway/commit/7a2ff7ba810ced55297a1a2e420b0b1f4326ab72 but the issue remains.

I get log messages like these when I click on the input field:
