Intellij network license window blank after sleep
My employer licenses Intellij to everyone in the company through an internal license server and occasionally (probably once the license cache runs out) I will return to my PC in the morning to the Intellij for Mac UI blocked by this blank window labeled "Licenses". I can't interact with Intellij until the window is dismissed, and the window cannot be dismissed unless I exit Intellij entirely. I'm guessing that this happens due to the fact that my corporate VPN disables itself overnight and, when the time comes for Intellij to re-check the license server, it can't reach the server. I would expect an error message and a "retry" button, though.
Any idea if this is something I can fix myself with settings, or am I just forced to restart Intellij?

Are you using the latest version of the IDE 2022.2.2?
See if it helps to add the
-Dsun.java2d.metal.syncSurfaces=truekey to theHelp | Edit custom VM optionsfile.If you see significant performance degradation with that key enabled, try disabling Metal rendering by adding
-Dsun.java2d.metal=falseto the same file.Yes, you are correct. Using Floating License Server requires permanent server availability. If such environment cannot be provided, it might be a better idea to use a different licensing method.
Thank you for the suggestions, Arina. I upgraded to 2022.2.2 shortly after posting this, so I'll see if that + syncSurfaces fixes the problem going forward.
I have the same problem since 2022. The problem persists in later versions.
