Description
Environment
Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22000.346]
Your Distribution version: Release: 20.04
Your WSLg version: WSLg ( x86_64 ): 1.0.29+Branch.main.Sha.2e87e194b507f0ced0b08f715096a35cf9f51498
Steps to reproduce
Run PHPStorm
Call the "Find in files" dialog (Ctrl+Shift+F in my case)
WSL logs:
[12:19:23.805] set_position_from_xwayland: XWM 1758, 412; geometry 32, 32; view 1726, 380
[12:19:23.847] Client: ClientGetAppidReq: pid:4022 appId:jetbrains-phpstorm
[12:19:23.847] unknown child process exited
Expected behavior
Dialog window is displayed normally
Actual behavior
It disappears immediately after displaying.
Once in about 5-10 tries, it is shown normally but nothing specific in the log.
Never saw this issue in the native IDE environment or under VcXsrv X server.
