Hello maheshkolekar,
welcome to the forum.
There is a “Report Problem” button to report the problem.
The software seems to come from https://snapcraft.io/pycharm-community.

I installed from flathub as flatpak. It is working fine.

The tar ball of the PyCharm unified version 2025.2.3 direct from JetBrains works here without problems. How did you install pycharm ? And what Desktop do you use ?

When Report Problem Clicked below error is showing -

I will try it and update
I used terminal to install Pycharm

sudo snap install pycharm-community --classic

I have installed the PyCharm unified version 2025.2.3 using Tar Ball

Thank You
