I remember having issues like that when I used dwm or awesome, try that : https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Dwm#Blank_.28grey.29_windows_of_Java_applications_.28such_as_netbeans.29

like rhaamo said it doesn't support certain window managers.

This can be fixed by running Ghidra like this _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1 ./ghidraRun
