Search Everywhere sometimes does not have cursor focus

Pressing SHIFT-SHIFT opens the Search Everywhere dialog however, 1 out of 5 times, the caret focus is not in the input box. This then forces me to use my mouse to click first in the input box then key in my search characters.

In the cases where focus is not there, for an instant I do see the caret in the input box but it immediately disappears.

Ubuntu 16.04

Phpstorm 2017.02.2

This bug is driving me absolutely insane.

Why can't they just use a normal dialog for the search everywhere window?

Dmitry, of course I take your word on that, as well as in some of the comments. The status info of the issue, however, does not actually reflect any progress. That's what dormant issues use to look like in our tracker ;-}

Best, Willy

The aforementioned ticket (https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-124160) says it's fixed (in 2018.1 version I believe) ... and quite a few people have confirmed that.

 

What's your IDE version?

If you still have this issue -- please comment there or create new ticket and provide your info (About info + idea.log file (Help | Show Log in XXX)). Maybe it will be related to JDK you are using .. or it could be a completely different cause (and devs/support will show the right ticket/possible workarounds)
