IntelliJ Ultimate (Build #IU-232.8660.185, built on July 26, 2023) on UBUNTU freezing and main menu detatching.

Answered

Since this new build installed, I'm having problems with the ide freezing and the main menu bar detatching.

The freezes happen randomly with background tasks like indexing, sending data to sonarcloud etc.

Then after I kill the java tasks, and restart, the main menu bar is detatched, even though I didn't change the appearance setting, and changeing the setting doesn't really help. When the menu bar is detatched I cannot move the window, nore resize it. 

Only after deleting ~/.config/JetBrains/IntelliJIdea2023.2 the ide returns to "nomal" with the main menu hidden under an icon (which I really don't like much, but it beats the "detatched menu bar"

2023.2 introduced some changes to the Linux window titles. Non-native Linux window title is turned on by default in the New UI.
Unfortunately, there where some side effects reported: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-199526. And we are working on resolving them as soon as possible.

As a temporary workaround, you can turn the native window title back on, by disabling Merge main menu with window title under Settings (`Ctrl + Alt + S`) > Appearance & Behavior > Appearance > UI options.

As for the freezes, could you please share your IDE logs (Help > Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data)? They contain useful information about your environment and should contain thread dumps (created automatically during a freeze). You can upload them to: https://uploads.jetbrains.com, just provide the uploaded file ID. Thanks!

A number of people on both Linux and Mac are also experiencing freezes on 2023.2, and we've reported it as a bug (with IDE logs) here: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-62133/PyCharm-freezing-multiple-times-per-day

For your convenience, here are my IDE logs:

Thank you for sharing the logs.
There are a lot of errors/exceptions related to following plugins: Bazel for IntelliJ, .ignore, Pydantic. Could you please try to disable all three plugins and see if the freezes still occur?

Other people on my team don't have these plugins installed but still experience the freezes. One of them should be able to upload logs.

Here are new logs following a freeze with all plugins disabled:

Rob Percival Thank you for the logs.
Upon further inspection the issue seems to be related to: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-324412 and  https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-62004. Unfortunately, there is no known workaround for now - apart from downgrading the IDE version.

I don't seem to be able to access either of those tickets, but good to know they're being worked on.

My mistake, I have updated the first one, so it should be accessible now.
For the second one, I missed that it is an internal issue, sorry.
