Clion 2018.1 does not show pop ups correctly
Answered
For some context I am running Fedora 27 with AwesomeWM.
Popups like Crtl-Tab, Crtl-J, and even right click do not display correctly. When they do display they are in the top right of the screen and seem to be treated like a new independent window(they have the max/min and close buttons as well as a title bar). The wildest thing is if you click the close window button in the popup window's menu bar, the Clion application closes. This was not an issue in Clion 2017.3.4 So I downgraded and solved the issue.
This seems to be a similar to an issue in a pre 2017 Clion?

Also experiencing the exact same issue, Fedora 27 and AwesomeWM.
Confirm downgrade to 2017.3.4 as a viable workaround until this is fixed.
This bug is especially annoying when code completion pops up, as it creates a window and steals focus, interrupting my typing as I'm coding. I consider it pretty much unusable in its current state.

Hi Anna,
The issue I am talking about seems similar to the 680 and 709 issues. I appreciate you providing a work around but I will be staying with 2017.3.4 until the fix is in a stable release.
Hi Anna,
I had the same issue, and updating to JRE build 1213 and setting -Djbre.popupwindow.settype did work, thank you.
