Running VisualVM through a distrobox is borked as of stable-43.20251102.

When I launch it it just shows a blank screen. I have not been able to find any logs indicating any weirdness regarding VisualVM or the distrobox anywhere in visualvm logs nor via journalctl. 😦 Interestingly, VisualVM works fine when run directly. I am using an Intel B580 in case that matters.

Solution:

Setting _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1 seems to fix it.
