@jozsefk9
can you please try sudo dnf update and install Phoenix Code again and see if it fixes the issue

It looks likes your windowing manager is IceWM we have not tested Phoenix Code with it. I will test it is there a place where I can get iso for your OS?

I just used Fedora Everything from here: https://alt.fedoraproject.org/
Direct link: https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/40/Everything/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Everything-netinst-x86_64-40-1.14.iso

And installed the Minimal Install version, then after reboot I added things I need, among which were IceWM, LightDM and all other packages. In total, more than 1700 packages. That's what DNF does automatically actually, because it pulls the dependencies.

I was able to make it work I doubt your theme is causing some issues

[jozsefk9]

Maybe. But then Phoenix is the only one application which doesn't work in this system. I tried many of them: Visual Studio Code, Geany, CudaText, Focus Editor, LiteXL, Lapce, Sublime Text, Kate, JetBrains Fleet... They all worked.

To keep phcode as lightweight as possible, we use system installed components mostly. That however leads to some issues like this in configurations we have not accounted for in rare cases. And as we get reports like this, we fix the issues. Phcode is only 3 months old at this point in linux, so we still have a bit more work to do for universal support in linux. We are working on this, thanks for helping.

@jozsefk9 There was an issue with default installation in fedora40. We just updated our script. could you please run installation with new script and see if it fixes your issue
wget -qO- https://updates.phcode.io/linux/installer.sh | bash
