Cursor disappears with idea-IC-201.6668.121
Answered
The cursor disappears when I alt-tab and also when any intellisense pops up.If it matters, I'm trying to edit some Scala code. I'm running on Xorg using the cwm window manager. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also when my cursor disappears, I no longer can type anything, but I can delete things with backspace.
Thank you!

Exactly the same problem, but on Pycharm professional 2020.1.
Ubuntu 18.04
KDE + i3wm
Hi,
Could you try the following, please:
1. Press `Help | Edit Custom Properties...` (if a dialog appears, press "Create")
2. "idea.properties" file will open. Add to a new line:
suppress.focus.stealing.active.window.checks=false
suppress.focus.stealing.disable.auto.request.focus=false
3. Restart IDE
Same across several IDE's (PHPStorm, Webstorm, Intelli-J)
Will try the suggested fix for a day and provide my results.
Update:
Did not fix the problem for me. Although it seems to occur less frequently (but this may be a fluke)
Sorry if it is not appropriate to put this data-point here, I searched the many similar threads and this seemed the most recent. It does not match my exact repro-case but it seemed silly to open a new thread.
I am using CLion 2020.2 on macOS 10.15.6. I don't remember seeing the issue in the previous version of CLion, and I am not seeing it on Windows or Ubuntu with 2020.2.
The fix suggested above did not help.
The following behaviors have been noted elsewhere:
- The cursor disappears reliably when I switch to a different application and back.
- When this happens, the editor also does not respond to keyboard input.
- Switching to a different editor tab and back, restores the cursor and keyboard input.
Two other things I noticed, which I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere:
- When switching to a different tab, the old tab is fixed but the new tab is then in the failure state. Switching tabs again restores normal operation.
- In the failure state, if the currently edited file has been edited outside of CLion, then the editor does not automatically refresh with the new file contents as it usually does.
Thanks for your attention!

Emb,
By any chance, do you use Synergy? If so, there's a solution.
