jetbrains.goland: Pop-up Dialogs Not Rendering (UI Freeze) in version `2025.2.2`

[S0PEX]

Nixpkgs version

• Unstable (25.11)

Describe the bug

After upgrading jetbrains.goland to 2025.2.2, pop-up dialogs (e.g., Project Settings, Help ⇒ About) fail to render. The UI becomes unresponsive, and interactions outside the pop-up are blocked until the IDE is closed. The same goes for IntelliJ 2025.2.2. Interestingly, DataGrip 2025.2.3, on the other hand, does not exhibit this issue.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install jetbrains.goland 2025.2.2 on NixOS with Hyprland.
2. Open the IDE and navigate to Settings or Help ⇒ About.
3. Observe that the pop-up dialog does not appear, and the UI becomes unresponsive / locked.

Expected behaviour

Users should be able to interact with the IDE outside the pop-up without any freezes or blocking.

Relevant log output

No errors are logged in the system journal.

Additional context

Downgrading jetbrains.goland to 2025.1.2 resolves the issue.

I’m not sure whether this is a NixOS issue, a Hyprland issue, or a problem with the JetBrains update itself. However, manually running 2025.1.2 or using DataGrip 2025.2.3 works flawlessly, so it doesn’t seem to be a Hyprland-specific problem. I’m posting here to see if anyone else has encountered the same issue.

Edit: It seems that this issue only occurs when passing -Dawt.toolkit.name=WLToolkit to GoLand and IntelliJ. It can be fixed by removing the VM argument; however, this may cause some other minor hiccups.
