Navigate | Class or File popup closes immediately in IntelliJ IDEA 2017.2

I'm having a annoying problem since I update IntelliJ IDEA Community to this version:

IntelliJ IDEA 2017.2
Build #IC-172.3317.76, built on July 15, 2017
JRE: 1.8.0_152-release-915-b5 amd64
JVM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o
Linux 4.8.0-53-generic

There is a problem with "Main Menu/Navigate/Class" action. When a trigger this action using keyboard shortcut or menu access, most of time the "Enter class name" window is showed, but closes immediately.

Sometimes the action works ok, but most of time, not.

I'm using linux Mint 18.2 (Cinnamon).

What ultimately worked for me was adding -Dfocus.follows.mouse.workarounds=true to my custom VM options (Help > Edit Custom VM Options).

I found this in https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-173000, mentioned above.

I use a tiling window manager (i3) which I suspect is related.
