Pycharm through ssh -X - no keyboard

Hi,

I am launching Pycharm (an IDE to program in python) through an SSH with X forwarding. The GUI works, the mouse works, I can access tools, execute the script, etc. However, there is no way I can type anything - not in the main windows nor the launch options, etc. What I type generally end up in the konsole I used to launch pycharm (I guess that is because that is the previous windows that had the focus).
So here are some funny tests:
- if I launch pycharm (server side) through the konsole (on my machine, not the server), what I type ends up written in the Konsole.
- if I launch Pycharm (server side) through the konsole (server side) through the konsole (on my machine), what I type ends up in the server side konsole (server side).

That clearly means that ssh can work with the keyboard, that is not the issue. Since I can use pycharm normally on the server when I get on this computer, it is not the pycharm fault alone. It is only a problem when I combine pycharm and ssh that it doesn't work anymore.

I saw some tips saying that I should disable the vim plugin. But I have none in my installation. Another tip said that we should disable the startup tip. I disabled it, but no changes...

Any idea?

Happy Gregorian new Year!
Cheers!
