Alright, not entirely no worky. Here is the deal. I am running Ubuntu 7.10 with the stock Gnome desktop. I've turned off all the crazy Compiz junk. I am running IDEA 7.0.2. More often than I'd like I'll be editing along and my keyboard will just stop working. If I switch to a different file and then go back it works again. Then 2 minutes later, same thing. So I continually have to switch editors to keep working.

Has anyone else ran into this problem? I know this may be a linux issue more than an IDEA issue but I figured I'd have better luck in this forum as it pertains to IDEA.

P.S. I am running with Java 1.6.0_03.

Thanks.

I think I used to occasionally see something sort of like that happen with IDEA 6, but come to think of it I haven't seen it yet with IDEA 7. FC7, KDE.

I just checked and I am still running 7.0.1. Is your problem new with 7.0.2?

Its more likely new with 7 verses 7.0.x since I haven't ran it on linux since 7.0.2 was released. And even then I ran Xubuntu with the Xfce desktop. I may install Xfce and see if I have similar issues over there. More to come...

I think I found the issue. Before I turned all the Compiz junk off I was having a problem with Java dialogs coming up blank. The solution to that was adding this to the .bashrc

export AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit'

However, that appearently was causing the issues with the editor windows. Since I've removed that I haven't had the issue.
