ElementaryOS: Windows are not decorated and not clickable

[infeo]

Description

On elementary OS, which uses the pantheon desktop, all windows except the main one cannot be used by mouse and miss system window decoration.

System Setup

• Operating system and version: Elementary OS 5.1.7.0 Hera (Linux 5.4.0-54-generic # 60~18.04-Ubuntu, Pantheon desktop, GTK 3.22.30)
• Cryptomator version: 1.5.10
• Volume type: -

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start Application
2. Open any window apart from the main one

Expected Behavior

The window is decorated with the system UI (close/ minimize buttons, window title etc.), buttons are clickable with the mouse

Actual Behavior

Opened window is undecorated and after the first mouse click, buttons cannot be used by mouse.

Reproducibility

Always.

Additional Information

This is a regression issue of #1167. It is caused by changes in the build/ starting process of cryptomator for version 1.5.9, see cryptomator/cryptomator-linux#26.

Workarounds:

• Navigate with the keyboard through the dialogues (tab switches selected element, enter triggers selected element)
• Repackage appimage:

1. Open shell in the directory where the appimage is located
2. Extract the Cryptomator appimage to change some files

   ./cryptomator-1.5.3-x86_64.AppImage --appimage-extract
   

3. Add modification:
4. Open the file ./squashfs-root/bin/cryptomator.sh
5. Remove the lines 18 and 20
6. Download appimagetool:

   wget "https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/releases/download/continuous/appimagetool-x86_64.AppImage"
   chmod a+x appimagetool-x86_64.AppImage
   

7. repackage Cryptomator

   ./appimagetool-x86_64.AppImage ./squashfs-root
   

Then you are done. The new Cryptomator-AppImage is named slightly different, so you can rename it afterwards. Also the appimagetool can be removed.

Depends on elementary/gala#693

I wanted to report this but seems it's already reported. For me the workaround also doesn't work.

This is what worked for me.

GTK_FLAG="-Djdk.gtk.version=2" ./cryptomator-1.6.0-alpha2-x86_64.AppImage
