The same bug affects me on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS when debugging C++ applications using CLion. The fact that the popup can remain hidden in the background but it blocks mouse clicks against all applications (including the foreground ones) is a huge issue, and there is no known workaround for the problem. How do core devs use their own system for application development?
Strangely the timeout between two popups is not constant, sometimes it happens every 5 seconds and sometimes the application being debugged can stay in the background for longer periods without causing this issue. A similar issue has been reported against Fedora a long time ago and it did not get any attention there either: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=981149 Please put this on high priority. ** Bug watch added: Red Hat Bugzilla #981149 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=981149 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1740869 Title: <something> is not respoding window is constantly showing when debugging a program in Eclipse Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Mentioned window about no responding program is showing and stealing focus when I try to debug a Java program in Eclipse.
