IntelliJ IDEA and BSPWM

http://i.imgur.com/RUnS0HY.png

Installed IntelliJ from the Community package and Oracle Java from AUR. When I launch the IDE from the idea.sh script, the loading window comes up normally. I created a project through the wizard and then the blank window you see above after it tried to load the normal working IDE.

All other windows/programs don't have any issues. I did some searching and saw a few suggestions to use wmname and rename your window manager to LG3D in xinitrc. I did that, but it didn't fix the issue either.

Suggestions or ways to troubleshoot? I'm on Arch x64.

I have that problem too but with awesomewm. However I am able to work around this issue by toggling maximising/fullscreening the window and it redraws.

If bspwm is nonreparenting you need to add the following to /etc/profile.d/jre.sh - or somewhere else where java programs will inherit it:

export _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1
