CTRL+SHIFT+N autofocus rarely works
Answered
This used to be quite rare, but with recent versions of EAP it's getting more and more frequent, and more annoying.
Problem
- Hitting CTRL+SHIFT+N
- Text in search box is highlighted
- Starting to type
- Nothing seems to happen
- Except when closing search box it seems I have just typed in one of my files.
I can't figure out exactly the situations it happens into, seems a bit random.
Anyone else who experienced this?
Fedora 24, Gnome 3.20.1

Hi,
Could you restart the IDE, reproduce the issue and then check the bottom of the Help > Show Log in ... > idea.log for any errors, please?
Tried this several times, there aren't any errors in idea.log. I'll try to see if disabling plugins has any effect on it.
Anything else I might try to narrow down the issue?
Are you using JetBrains JDK (supplied by default) or switched your PhpStorm instance to something else?
Haven't changed anything with JDK
So far I can reproduce this only when I have previously opened a file this way. On the other hand, when PhpStorm has just been opened, the field is always focused as expected.

I gave up, removed all plugins and removed config directory. Also updated PhpStorm to 2017.2 Public Preview.
I thought the issue was gone, but after config was recreated, there's now something wrong with this search popup when there are items in search history. Once there are recently searched file names in that list, it's almost impossible to invoke that dialog again (see video).

EDIT: I tried the workaround mentioned here https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-112015#comment=27-1558519 with no luck.
Hi,
What is your Linux distro and UI manager (Gnome, Unity, something else)?
Hey, I'm on Fedora 24, Gnome v3.20.1
As a temporary workaround I'm invoking CTRL+N, which clears recent search, and then hit CTRL+SHIFT+N again, which then opens without problems (although it sometimes doesn't focus like before).
Unfortunately, there's no other workarounds at the moment. Sorry.

Thanks!
Fix is also included in the most recent 2017.2.2 release.
