SUMMARY Certain popups in PyCharm Community Edition (and the Professional Edition too) do not recieve focus properly. I have recorded a short screen capture to demonstrate this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZikxxSN-Bs This popup receives proper focus in Cinnamon at least. I tried turning off "Focus stealing prevention" (setting it to None). That has no effect. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Launch PyCharm Community Edition. Create a new project if needed. 2. Right click in project file tree and select New -> File. 3. Try to type in file name in popup. OBSERVED RESULT Text you type ends up in document behind popup EXPECTED RESULT Text should end up in popup as expected (and this is how it works under other tested DEs such as MATE and Cinnamon). SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.95.0 Qt Version: 5.15.5 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I'm using X11.
Note: PyCharm is installed as a native Arch Linux package. I have not tried sandboxed versions (as that is pretty silly for IDEs anyway).
My bad. This seems to be an arch linux packaging issue. Upstream tar ball of PyCharm works just fine.
