Drop-down menus don't show properly in IntelliJ IDEA (R4.0 / i3)

[Dimitri]

Hi,
I want to use IntelliJ IDEA under Qubes R4.0 (with i3 wm). On a right-click the IDE shows a drop down menu. However, this disappears immediately. I did't have this issue in R3.2. Also all the drop down menus in IDEA have window title. In other apps the drop-down menus just have a thin colored border. Maybe this because IDEA uses some Java UI (?)
Any ideas how to fix that?

Thanks!

Hi Dmitri,

I've been using IntelliJ on 3.2 and 4.0 but never had the kind of issue you describe, however I had a similar issue with another java application. In my case I worked around the issue by downgrading the software version and never had time to investigate.

I would check the jre used by IntelliJ and eventually try to upgrade intellij/jre
