Sub windows in java applications close immediately

[thewildcat]

Qubes OS version:

R3.2 with xfce

Affected component(s):

Window manager maybe?

---

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Download the latest intellij rider:
https://www.jetbrains.com/rider/
Try to open submenus like right clicking inside the editor window (the submenu instantly closes).
Also effects burp suite:
https://portswigger.net/burp/releases/download?product=community&version=1.7.33&type=jar
Try to open any help menu, it instantly closes.

Expected behavior:

The sub window should stay open.

Actual behavior:

The window closes directly

General notes:

It is not a recent change in the JVM code, I tried old versions from OpenJDK and Oracle (7,8,9) same issue. It must be some java user code that triggers it.

The question is, can this be addressed in qubes as well? Some issue within the window manager?

I reported a bug against InteliJ IDEA describing this issue a while back. Doesn't appear to be Qubes-specific, users of many other distros are affected too.

That may be true for IntelliJ, but with burp I have not been able to reproduce it on any other distribution or system other than Qubes R3.2 (see my comments from the burp bug report).

As I am working in the infosec business, this tool is quite essential from time to time. I'll have to test if it also effects Qubes 4.0 if not, the switch is planned for this year anyway.

In burp under QubesR4 (archlinux template) I also observe similar problem with the proxy history filter panel.

I have not been able to investigate the reason yet but a similar issue encountered in Qubes 3.0 was tracked down to a missing implementation of some X11 protocol feature within qubes GUI code.

Do you know a very minimal Java program that highlight this issue ? This would help a lot for troubleshooting.

I have a minimal Java application showing a possibly similar issue that I had with NetBeans IDE where some windows where loosing focus sometimes and thus being closed only when running with Qubes:
https://github.com/netmackan/qubes-java-focus-issue

Anyway I just run it and it is still reproducible in 4.0.

Updated: to clarify that I am not sure this is the same issue.
