Stopped using AWT_TOOLKIT="MToolkit". Problem is gone or much more rare. Without this environment setting I do see a blank window problem occasionally but not frequently. Additional environmental factors that should be mentioned: I am using Compiz Fusion as window/desktop manager (a.k.a "Advanced Desktop Effects" enabled in Ubuntu 7.10). I have the "Java Window Fix" workaround enabled in my Compiz settings. Also happens to me by using Idea 7.0.1 build #7364, AWT_TOOLKIT="MToolkit", Ubuntu 7.04 with Beryl window manager.
It must be something with the number of open windows. Even though This happens only in Idea. The workaround that I found is to use the metacity (Gnome) window manager without AWT_TOOLKIT="MToolkit". Sorry - In the last comment, some of sentence got deleted:
Even though this sounds like a window manager issue, It happens only in Idea. No other application. I am having the same problem on build 7364, Kubuntu 7.10 (with Compiz). This problem should be fixed asap.
same problems here. Netbeans for example doesn't have those problems..
Can someone form JetBrains at least say what status of this bug is. Right now to get keyboard working again, you must switch tabs which is very distracting. Same issue here as well. Symptom: Idea : idea-7590 Current (pathetic) solutions : Hi Miho,
in my case nightly builds of 1.6 helped, see: http://www.jetbrains.net/jira/browse/IDEADEV-2359 (copy paste from above link M.J.Milicevic - 28 Jan 08 20:05 even ctrl + e focus works. Now lets hope this finally gets fixed with next JDK update. [ Permlink | « Hide ] Thank you for your help, M.J.Milicevic.
Unfortunately the problem does not get fixed. The good news is that the symptom is less harsh than before. No longer needs to restart IDEA, just by changing the tab, keyboard input comes back so far. So that's nicer than before yet still not acceptable... Not sure if it's related at all, but I'm keep getting following Exception from iea.sh output.
[162080064] ERROR - pplication.impl.LaterInvocator - same problem here, ubuntu 7.10 32 bit, tried turning off desktop effects, installed the jdk 1.6_10 beta, etc. Still have to switch between tabs to get my keyboard back.
[I was the original reporter.]
I finally found relief from both the blank window problem and the loss of keyboard input problem by: Despite reports from Miho to the contrary, with recent versions of JDK 1.6.0 (even 1.6.0_05 and Update 10 beta), I could not simultaneously get relief from both the blank window issue and the loss of keyboard input issue. Note: I am now on Ubuntu 8.04 (not 7.10), still with Compiz Fusion and lots of effects. Hope this helps others. Cheers, Anil,
Where do you download JDK 1.7 for ubuntu (I am on gutsy 32bit still) Thanks Jacques JDK 1.7 is still in beta. You can get the latest snapshots here: http://download.java.net/jdk7/binaries/ Pick the Linux self-extracting file with a .bin extension. Download and then chmod +x the file to make it executable by you. When you run it, it will ask you to accept the license and then extract the contents to a subdir of the working directory. It should run fine on Gutsy. |

IDEA 7 final: Loss of all keyboard input
This makes IDEA 7 unusable for me. Unfortunately I've already purchased the license.
I have to revert to 6.0.5. Can you provide any suggestions?
There is a spot workaround: I've found that viewing the TODO pane and then closing it sometimes restores things to working.
However this happens so frequently that IDEA 7 is pretty much unusable for me.
