Can't write in text fields

Hi everyone,
I recently downloaded the program to my ubuntu 18.04 WSL.
I can open the program just fine, and click all the usual buttons. But for some bizarre reason I can't edit any of the Geometry and Base Mesh text fields.
Again, I can press and buttons and edit the text fields in the preferences menu, but I'm not able to enter or edit the text fields in the base mesh or the Geometry.
If anyone can find a solution, I would be grateful.
Any more information you need, just ask.
Thanks a lot

Hi DeadlosZ,

which desktop environment are you using?
Is it unity?

I'm using the ubuntu subsystem for windows for my openfoam simulations, version 18.04.
A great description can be found here:

We’ve never tried running HELYX-OS/OpenFOAM using the Ubuntu shell in Windows 10. Instead, we offer a native Windows version to our paid support customers

@DeadlosZ what X server are you running, Xming?

Yes I use Xming

@rradovic Does this solution still work for you with the release of Windows 11 and WSLg? Would love to use HELYX-OS but don't have immediate access to a Linux machine.

@Davey-Gravy it worked on my W10 machine earlier this year with WSL2 but haven't used it for a while, had to move to Linux anyway because WSL doesn't support multi CPU.
