When running tomcat in IntelliJ 2019.2, the cursor is focused on editor every few seconds

There are no breakpoints being hit, and I've unchecked "Focus application on breakpoint" but still every few seconds the cursor refocuses on the editor, regardless of what application the server is in, when I revert to 2019.1.3, I don't experience this same issue.

Can you provide a screencast of the issue? 

As a possible solution, try to disable experimental `suppress.focus.stealing` feature: 

  1. Open Find Action... ("Ctrl-Shift-A" on Windows and Linux, "Cmd-Shift-A" on macOS)
  2. Type "Registry...", press Enter
  3. Find the key suppress.focus.stealing (just start typing to use speed searching) and disable it

Thanks for quick response, unfortunately I'm still experiencing the same issue after disabling that option. Have attached a screencast here - https://drive.google.com/open?id=1cvmDcactHsfgx7Vm9_EBDxrHxeHBQhfK .

Hello Andrew,

Does the issue happen when you run, but not debug Tomcat?

Hi,

It appears to only be an issue when in debug

This is a known issue: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-220269

It appears when class reload on frame deactivation is enabled: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/updating-applications-on-application-servers.html
