Creating New File with Nav Bar Freezes Phpstorm 7 on kde

EDIT: just found out if i minimize the ide then maximize, i regain control and can type normally. seems to be a focus loosing issue that hangs the ide...?

I am running linux mint (kernal: 3.8.0-26-generic, amd64) and using kde 4.10.5. JRE: 1.7.0_51-b13 (Oracle Corporation), and JVM: 24.51-b03 (Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM). I have tried many builds of phpstorm 7, but they all have the same issue on my machine. I can create new files using the sidebar and my mouse. But if I alt+home then alt+insert then type "somefile.php" and hit enter...the ide will freeze for awhile. The new file comes up..but the gutter is missing and there is no cursor. When i start phpstorm from the konsole and click the missing gutter...it appears and dumps the following:

Unfortunatly the ide stays frozen (no cursor) for awhile. When I type nothing happens..although after about a minute my keystrokes appear in the sidebar under search. log file attached.
