IntelliJ windows from Linux box displayed via ssh/X11 on MacOS illegible - macos

I have XQuartz 1.20.11 (xorg-server 1.20.11) on an M1 MacBook Pro (installed via MacPorts) and am trying to display IntelliJ running on a Linux box via ssh/X11.
The IntelliJ windows appear with oddly rendered text that's unreadableā€”the white background turns black, and there are white outlines around the black text. If I click outside of an X11 window and start typing, then the IntelliJ window looks normal. But as soon as I touch the trackpad, IntelliJ becomes unreadable.
I tried taking a screen shot, but it comes out looking normal even though the window is nearly unreadable. So I've attached photo of the screen.
X11 windows from other applications display fine.
As mentioned in an XQuartz thread, setting
export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dsun.java2d.xrender=false' clears up the text but results in extremely slow display.
Anyone have suggestions for troubleshooting or a solution?

Liver Server button is Not Visible in VS Code on MAC

Liver Server button is Not Visible in VS Code on MAC.
I am using MAC OS Monterey 12.0.1
I am using VS Code for my practising along with live server environment. However, even after installing and enabling the extension "Live server", i am not seeing any button where it supposed to be.
I am a PRO windows user and started using MAC PRO recently (If this detail helps).
Below are my checks.
Installed the extension and reloaded the VS Code - Yes.
Did i check the notification area (The Blue Bar at bottom) - Yes (screen clipping is attached)
3)Is the Default browser mentioned in settings - YES !! As per my windows experience, we no need to. However, i have mentioned chrome as my default browser (Screen shot attached).
Now, I understood there is a fundamental difference here. In windows i can see that this option will work with any types of files even with a normal directory.
However, when it come to MAC i am getting this option only when i open a .JS file. Below is the scree shot.
My bad and feeling embraced, i don't know how did i miss this silly thing ??

Chrome's emulate touch screen circle not visible

I have a strange issue whit my emulate touch functionality on Google Chrome version 49.0.2623.110 m.
I'm using laptop + monitor (both Dell) and running Windows 8.
The issue is that while Chrome is on my secondary monitor and touch screen emulation is enabled I cannot see a touch screen pointer (black circle) nor any kind of pointer, but when I move my Chrome to my main laptop display it would show. I tried disabling laptop display while using external monitor and it is the same, I cannot see the pointer. This was not a problem with previous Chrome version.
Did anyone had similar issues with this version?
Thank you
EDIT:
I've change the laptop, updated to win10 and updated Chrome to 50.0.2661.87 m version and I still have the same issue (colleague of mine has the same problem as well).
A colleague of mine "solved" the problem by enabling Windows' Mouse pointer trails at minimum length. I find it too annoying to work with the setting enable, but it does work if you really need it.
Mouse settings
They did some changes in recent version of Dev Tools and some options are now gone. Ensure you have "Mobile" or "Desktop with touch" selected, as you can see on the screenshot.

White screen shows up during regular use after El Capitan upgrade

MacBook Pro retina (2013). Yosemite was doing fine; but after I upgraded it to El Capitan, I get white screen showing up every few minutes during regular coding and browsing. I searched online but most white screen problems of Mac users happened during the upgrade, but mine is during regular use. Anyone knows how to debug problems like this?
EDIT: some more clues --- 1. the pointer is still visible and I can move it around as well; 2. I can even take a screenshot of the white screen; 3. when I swipe up on touchpad I still get to "show my desktop", but after I swipe down the white screen comes back.
It sounds like there is a scheduled job that starts up in the background and runs an incompatible app. What does your console say when you reboot?
You need to remove 3rd party internet related software that isn't fully compatible with El Capitan and then reboot.
Also, did you try the fixes recommended
here.
Specifically
1) enter single user mode and run /sbin/fsck -fy
2) boot into safe mode
You may also need to remove these items (tuntap, a VPN software):
/Library/StartupItems/tap
/Library/StartupItems/tun

Trying to install Visual Studio 2015 community edition but install window becomes invisible

This issue is driving me crazy. I'm on a corporately controlled network but have local administrator rights. This issue is happening with all versions of Visual Studio installer where you initiate the install, then you see the initial splash screen and then that vanishes and it looks like nothing is there. But if you click and drag that area you can see the window borders during the drag. Some portions of the invisible window even respond to mouse clicks. There's even a task bar indication that is blank when you hover over it. I can't even update the current 2013 installation to SP5 because even that window behaves the same way.
However, it just totally hangs the install and since I can't see the install options I don't know if there's a failure or it's just waiting on me to do something.
I've seen several posts about this outside of here but all of them lead to a dead-end.
I have installed Studio on this machine before - actually all versions since 2005 and never have seen this issue until it started about 2 months ago. I did updates galore and all that. Updated my video drivers, blah, blah, blah. I've even tried remoting into this this box and seeing if that would alter the display enough to see what is going on...all to no avail.
The box is beefy (i5, 16GB, 500GB SSD...triple display, etc...) so it more than meets the requirements.
When I try to install any version of Visual Studio, the install window briefly appears and then disappears. However, it is still there, just 100% transparent. Has anyone else seen this before?
I was able to finally find an answer to the invisible install dialog question, it is however not an adequate solution, but an answer. I have to run only one monitor then the install dialog is visible and things proceed normally.
My solution was to disable the graphics card I have on my computer and run on onboard graphics card. It seems that the issue is with the graphics, so forcing the system to use the "regular" graphics card did the trick.
I have to use /Full /Passive from the command line to install on a build server. I would prefer less flashy installer for a more robust one. I am sure its a combination of the graphics card etc. But other installers work.

QGIS 2.2 on OSX Mavericks stuck in full screen mode

I toggled into full screen mode on QGIS 2.2 on my Mac, and now the menu bar won't show and I can't toggle out of it. From the documentation, it looks like it should toggle with F11, but it's not working. I've seen people having similar trouble on Ubuntu and Windows 7, but nothing for OSX. Any ideas? I appreciate it.
Just spent close to an hour with this problem- QGIS 2.2 on mavericks. Really vexing! I tried reinstalling (after trashing the previous version as instructed in the install notes), tried removing the hidden .qgis2 folder in the home directory, tried disabling all spaces on the machine (I started with 8 desktops), tried all permutations of Apple-F, ctrl-F, apple-shift-F, etc...
Finally, and simply, the answer was this:
F11 is documented as the toggle key, but in my mostly stock setup this was bound in MissionControl to 'display the desktop'. I rebound that function to F1, and then with QGIS up, hit F11 (on my MBP I need to also hold the fn key otherwise it's 'volume down') and I was out of Full screen mode.
Hope it works for you!
