Jetbrains PHPStorm / IDEA popup losing focus — Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
Recently my macbook died and I decided to make the switch over to Ubuntu for development. My main IDE is PHPStorm and I make extensive use of the navigation shortcut keys CTRL+N and CTRL+SHIFT+N to make my way around projects.
I noticed if I navigated to a file and then wanted to go to another file the menu would close itself. Same thing happened if I pressed ESC and then tried to reactivate the menu.

A kind user selckin on #idea-users pointed out that idea.properties has a setting called idea.popup.weight that can be adjusted for special cases like this. It defaulted to heavy so I changed it to medium . So far it’s fixed the issue.
I found the file in ~/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps/PhpStorm/ch-0/<version-number>/bin . It’s worth noting that I installed PHPStorm via the Toolbox app.
