stumbled upon this issue today, added an comment to http://devnet.jetbrains.net/docs/DOC-1142

maybe someone has a hint for me? :)

cheers

Hi Markus,

Where have you defined the property? At the run configuration?

Denis

Hi, yes, in the run configuration. I also tried to set ist as a vmoption for inde itself.

jps also shows that the argument has been applied.

thanks
Markus

Strange, the setting helped me in the local ubuntu environment..

Is it possible to make a thread dump when the IJ is hanging?

Denis

hm....jstack gives me for the application-to-debug:

Deadlock Detection:

No deadlocks found.

The stack traces of IJ's  appmain aind main threads are fairly longer, so i attach them as txt files.

thank you for you help,

Hi Markus,

I googled the following - 6714678. It looks like there is a regression at the new jdk 1.6.x versions. Can you try with, say, 1.6.0_19 (I'm still using this version and haven't been experiencing the hangs since 'disablegrab' was set).

Denis

Hi,
just triedit with

java version "1.6.0_19"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_19-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 16.2-b04, mixed mode)

and get the same behavior :(

thanks for the hint

Markus

One more approach - try to manually download target jdk (not from the repo) and instruct IJ to use it. People say that that may help.

Denis

Hi,
I already did the manual way to switch to another JDK - it was the qucikest way for me ;-)
Also tried 1.6.01 / 32bit now, no difference :(

Reading about the X11 Config switch (that was appearently disabled): Might this also be related to driver/screen setup ? I'm using an twin-view setup with external screen and a nvidia card with NV-CONTROL Version 1.24 ...

thanks for your help
Markus

I doubt the problem is related to the mentioned driver/screen setup as I have exactly the same (twin view and nvidia drivers).
