Unable to open files

Bugs
1

Hello

I am unable to open any file from “Project Explorer”, neither double click nor enter works.
But I can open files through: File -> Open file… menu.

I am working on Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit and Defold version 1.2.83.
When I installed Defold I did not have these problems, it showed up recently.

Any help to resolve this problem will be appreciated.

@jakob.pogulis, do you have any idea why this is happening?

There should have been no recent changes to the editor that could cause this behaviour.

  1. Is this happening on every file you open, or just some files?
  2. Have you tried reinstalling the editor?
  3. Have you installed a third party program that could have registered as an application for .lua or .script for example?

Could it be some permission thing? sudo?

It happens on every file and strangely it starts to work when I lock the screen and unlock it.
After locking/unlocking the screen the problem goes away even when I close Defold program and open new one.
Maybe I can enable some debug information to see what is going wrong?
Also I use gnome 3

If locking and unlocking the screen solves the problem I’m quite convinced that it’s a problem with the environment and not specific to the Defold editor. The Eclipse version we’re using does have some problems integrating with the default Ubuntu graphical shell (Unity), but as far as I know there haven’t been any problems with Gnome.

Have you experienced similar, or other, strange things with other Java applications?

I use Intellij regularly and I haven’t noticed any strange behavior.
The important thing is that I have a workaround that I can use to work with Defold.

Thanks for help and suggestions
