I think I understood the issue and found a solution.

It looks like many Java applcations don't work properly on a non-reparenting
window manager like the one I use, but they do if you pretend to be using a
reparenting one. The Arch Wiki suggests to set the _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING
environment variable to 1 if using JRE 8, or AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit for a later
version - but only the first one works for me, despite using JRE 17.
Alternatively, wmname [2] may be used to pretend to be using a supported window
manager [3]. I do not know how bad workarounds these are, though.
