WebStorm 2017.2 debugger not compatible with Ubuntu 17.10

Must be a problem with either java or node.js + your system setup. Do you have any crash logs created once the problem occurs? Try looking for java_error_in_webstorm_*.log files in your home dir - do you have any?

I can confirm this issue, the gnome-shell crashes while in debug and i'm using latest 2017.3 evaluation version of WS.

The latest WS log message before crashing is a WARN about a huge popup (this is also the only WARN from starting WS and no ERRORS):

2018-02-24 09:35:35,950 [ 547417] WARN - ntellij.ui.popup.AbstractPopup - huge popup requested: 39885 x 51
2018-02-24 09:37:58,445 [ 689912] INFO - il.indexing.FileBasedIndexImpl - START INDEX SHUTDOWN
2018-02-24 09:37:58,461 [ 689928] INFO - #com.intellij.idea.Main - ------------------------------------------------------ IDE SHUTDOWN ------------------------------------------------------

Could the huge allocated rectangle be the cause of crashing ?

No, it's unlikely related to the issue

Guys, please can you recreate the issue and provide idea.log files (https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/207241085-Locating-IDE-log-files)? It may give us a clue... Please don't paste them here, upload them to some file server and provide a link

Hi Elena,

i'm sorry but i cannot help you because i have no way to install WS anymore (my boss was so disappointed from this bug he asked me to no more waste time on this and to look for other solutions :-( ). I hope someone will help you to solve.

However i can say for sure the latest message i sent was the only warning from WS before crash. I can add some other info. This is the link to my idea.log file: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1yJn9d8Q_AfLWkNdamMcMPQEDiG2SKKOB

It is not WS itself to be crashed but it does something wrong and freeze the gnome-shell causing a segmentation fault of the base graphic libraries. The latest message in the log is the message just before all freeze. This happened only in debug mode when i move my mouse pointer over a variable which contains the whole module. It seems to me the popup WS tried to open is insanely huge (it should be width by height in pixel, but width is too much large). Also i think this could be a bug of the underlying  graphic libraries which can not manage this case.

However i will follow this case, to know if you can solve.

Regards,

Luigi

The issue is tracked as https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WEB-31444; we disabled some debugger popups in 2018.1, but, as we have been unable to recreate the issue, and available logs don't include any valuable info, we are not sure if it's indeed fixed
