Yes, but they are also an example of why people don't like Java UIs.

I.e. the amount of UI problems you have with it when using a tiling wm or wayland (or both) are just sad and make it unusable. Other widely used UI's might also have problems but at least are somewhat usable under wayland and/or tiling wm.

Ironically many of this problems go back/are rooted in to AWT...

In the past Intellij did work if started directly by x (without a wm) which was pretty cool for some very very neach use cases, but sadly (through reasonably) this isn't the case anymore.

Just out of curiosity, what issues do you run into using them in a tiling WM?

[dathinab]

Context menues not being at the right position, directly closing after opening (so fast that you can't really see it) as well as menu items sometimes not being selectable.

Especially the quick command/search menues doesn't work at all and context menues sometimes don't work either.

(Edit: And context/popup menues not working is the main theme of problems with Java GUIs, hence my parent post, also setting the "magic" no-reparenting env variable doesn't fix it)

I can second these issues using i3 and arch. I've had subtle issues like these in Ghidra and when I once tried Armitage (I wanted the Hail Mary feature), it was so messy I've never used it since.
