** Description changed: + [ Impact ] + When running IntelliJ IDEA in an X session with Mutter and an nVidia graphics card and proprietary drivers some dialogs have a semi- transparent background making it hard to read any text in those. The bug was originally reported here: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JBR-6983 Then an issue was filed against Mutter and successfully resolved: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/3600 The resolution has been confirmed by several people building Mutter from source as is supported by comments here: * https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JBR-6983/Transparent-dialogs-on-Linux-with-Nvidia-card#focus=Change-27-11029389.0-0.pinned * https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JBR-6983/Transparent-dialogs-on-Linux-with-Nvidia-card#focus=Comments-27-11063989.0-0 + [ Test Plan ] - The corresponding Mutter package for Ubuntu 24.04 has not yet been updated to include the suggested fix. Please, consider backporting this change: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/3914 - Thank you! + 1. Set up a machine an NVIDIA GPU running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and the proprietary NVIDIA drivers + 2. Log-in to a GNOME Xorg session + 3. Install IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition from the App Center + 4. Open IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition + 5. Open or create a new Project + 6. Hit Ctrl+N to bring up 'Search Classes' box + 7. Type '/' in the search box to populate the results + 8. Verify that the background of the floating box is solid (non-translucent) + 9. Press backspace to delete the '/' character + 10. Repeat steps 7~9 for 10 times, ensuring that the floating box is never translucent + + [ Where problems could occur ] + + mutter is the component of GNOME driving the screen and inputs, and thus + is a critical component of Ubuntu Desktop. + + Problems could manifest as applications rendering with the wrong colors, such as an inverted effect or other artifacts. + At worst the user may be suddenly logged-out in case GNOME Shell crashes because of a bug introduced by this patch.
