"Find Actions..." and other popups disappear

Answered

I'm on i3vm and it seems like the popups (such as those triggered by `CTRL+Shift+A`, `CTRL+N`, `CTRL+Shift+N` many times disappear when I start to type. This is obviously very annoying since the rest of the intended characters actually modify the source code unintentionally.

The behavior that I have noted is that the popup stays and behaves as expected **only** if the text field is empty. If there is a single character in the field it disappear as soon as I type a character.

The second thing noted is that it's enough to move the mouse pointer (without clicking or anything) to the popup and then out of it again for it to disappear.

Seems to be very similar to https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-173000

BTW, I know it's probably better to report at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/IDEA but for some reason it insist that it's in readonly state and won't allow me to file an issue even when authenticated.

See https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-112015 and the linked issues.

https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-188220 may be also related.

YouTrack was updating, hence the read-only mode for ~10 minutes. It works fine now.

 Hi, seems like enabling the "focus.follows.mouse.workarounds" flag in the Registry as suggested in IDEA-173000 comments did the trick.

Thanks for the feedback.
