Guides to fixing common known issues

#1 Bito JetBrain Extension doesn't work in Android Studio.

Bito plugin needs support for the JCEF browser, which is not included in Android Studio due to its default boot runtime setup. You can change the default Boot runtime settings in Android Studio to a version that supports the JCEF browser and get Bito running on Android Studio Given below are the instructions:

1. Go to Help → Find action

2. Type → “Choose Boot Java Runtime for the IDE”

3. From the dropdown “New”, select a Boot runtime that supports the JCEF browser.

4. Select "OK" and Restart.

Once done, install Bito, and you will have it up and running.

Bito doesn’t load and show a blank page when installed in Android Canary.

In order to load Bito in Android Canary, please follow below steps:-

1. Select Help | Find Action from the main menu in IDE.

2. Type Registry..., select it.

   
3. In the opened list, find and disable the ide.browser.jcef.sandbox.enable options.

   
4. Restart the IDEA.

#2 Korean/Hangul language is behaving abnormally in the JetBrains IDE

In the latest JetBrains IDE (version >= 2023.2), some languages, particularly Korean/Hangul, are mistakenly typed from right to left instead of the correct left to right format.

To resolve this:

1. Open your JetBrains IDE.

2. Navigate to Help → Edit Custom VM Options menu.

3. A file will open. Add the following code in this file:

-Dide.browser.jcef.osr.enabled=false

1. Save the file.

2. Restart the IDE.

This workaround should address the input issue. It's a persistent setting, so you won't need to repeat this process every time you start the IDE. Additionally, while the problem is noted with Korean/Hangul, if you experience similar issues with other languages, you can try the same workaround.
