About focus issues in JetBrains IDEs

Some users on Linux systems have reported that the Augment Chat window steals focus from the editor while typing. This can interrupt your workflow and make it difficult to use the IDE effectively. This issue can be resolved by enabling off-screen rendering in your JetBrains IDE.

​
Enable off-screen rendering

1

Open the Custom Properties editor

From the menu bar, go to Help > Edit Custom Properties.... If the idea.properties file doesn’t exist yet, you’ll be prompted to create it.
2

Add the off-screen rendering property

Add the following line to the properties file:
augment.off.screen.rendering=true
3

Save and restart your IDE

Save the file and restart your JetBrains IDE for the changes to take effect.
After restarting, the Augment panel should no longer steal focus from the editor while you’re typing.
