IntelliJ Idea show weird blank screen

[jarias]

Don't know if it apply's to other java apps but I test IntelliJ in weston and it doesn't work quite well but at least it shows the window content. Also the window should the attach screenshot should be a modal floating window but it appears to be trying to render it as a normal window.

Other java programs, like the arduino ide, seem to be fairly broken in sway, though in different ways.

export _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1 seems to fix the problem.

This is a known problem with non-re-parenting window managers:

wmname LG3D works for me.

@ids1024 @stwa thanks I'll try that as soon as I get home. I'm closing the issue since it looks like is a known Java issue.

I tried both _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1 and wmname LG3D with neither one working. Are there any further suggestions for fixing this?

[mkubasz]

I have this issue too.

Please check if this issue is still relevant with sway 1.0, investigate it and send a patch.

[mkubasz]

Yeap, new version fixed this issue. Now I'll be waiting for android studio emulator fix patch. Thanks.

2018.2 did not fix it for me. Bummer

Now idea what "2018.2" refers to.

[ricejamesh]

I am testing against webstorm and the latest release is 2018.2, as of 22 July 2018 (2 days ago). AFAIK, there are typically two methods of fixing this blank display issue, setting export _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1 and/or wmname LG3D. But generally, it is reported that some of the java based applications have display issues in linux while using RDP (xrdp to fedora in my case).

(I'm not here for sway but rather the blank screen while using RDP to a linux box.)

I am interested in knowing if there are any further solutions that may have emerged lately. I'm not finding anything out there other than the two listed solutions, or moving away from xrdp.

Thanks!

I have the same issue.

I am using Microsoft remote desktop application (ver. 10.2.1) on Mac OS X Sierra to connect to my Linux box which is a Debian 9 i686.
My Debian box (Debian 4.9.110-3+deb9u4 (2018-08-21) i686 GNU/Linux) is running Xrdp over Xvnc. Everything else seems to be working well except for arduino 1.8.1...

Any idea ?

@SirCmpwn What do you mean by, "Investigate! Ask for help on IRC! Send a patch!"? Is that an auto-reply? Cheers.
