This is an error message that i get from IntelliJ running on XMir

createComponent() returns null for: class com.intellij.designer.palette.PaletteToolWindowManager

Have problem with AndroidStrudio v0.3.1

Step to reproduce:
1. Download and install Intelij idea http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/ (AndroidStrudio\PyCharm are based on Intelij idea)
2. Create new project (for ex. simple java project) or import the existed one

Very probably the same bug as https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-mir/+bug/1250613 (Java applications are missing X11 resources - XQueryBestCursor return 0,0)

Confirmed via numerous bug reports. Java is very unhappy under XMir.

This would be a bug in Java, where it is unable to deal with the Xorg software cursor. Which is a problem unrelated to Mir really. Mir just puts X in a (valid) mode where the bug is triggered.

Although, we could work around the Java bug by implementing full hardware cursor support in XMir...
https://bugs.launchpad.net/xmir/+bugs?field.tag=cursor

Minecraft also crashes. Attached is the automatically generated crash report.

So far all Jetbrains java-based products crash for me. I am running a remote desktop on a KVM virtual machine, and using the vnc with libvirt as well as nomachine software gives me this result. I have had some success somehow with Xvnc in the past.

It seems you can workaround the whole issue by doing a x11 forwarding ssh session to yourself. Use "ssh -X localhost" then run the program. Not sure why this works, but I am not complaining!

XMir 1.0 (the old Xorg extension) is now deprecated and is not being maintained or fixed. It is replaced by the new 'Xmir' binary (package 'xmir') introduced in Ubuntu 15.10 wily.

Is there any way to reproduce this bug without the old Xmir?

Note: The new Xmir uses the hardware cursor (where available on desktop). So if this bug still exists at all, it would only be on mobile (Android Mir platform).

Closed due to inactivity.

I don't understand why this bug is closed. Many Java apps failed on Ubuntu (I was on 14.04LTS & now 16.04LTS) and the bug is always present.

I got the bug with Freemind 1.0.1 and Freeplane 1.3.15-3.

Theses are the last messages when starting Freeplane:

STDERR: at java.awt.dnd.DragSource.<clinit>(DragSource.java:148)

The old XMir is not being supported or maintained as mentioned 11 months ago in comment #13.

I also see this on Debian unstable, so it most probably not
an issue with a Ubuntu specific x server:

Thanks. That just confirms a bug on the Java side, but not Xmir:

Caused by: java.awt.AWTException: Exception: class java.lang.IllegalArgumentException Width (0) and height (0) must be non-zero occurred while creating cursor CopyDrop.32x32

I suggest you log a bug against the application that crashed, or the JRE etc.

Confirmed, this is an OpenJDK bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8173853
Fixed in 8u152 and 9.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
