I installed PyCharm Community Edition via Ubuntu Software Center, and when I try to open the application it indicates that PyCharm is open and I can see the window when I hover over the icon, but it won't display on the desktop in full view. I have already tried to uninstall and reinstall this, and the issue continues to persist.

  • Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! Could you please [edit] your question to clarify what you mean by “it won't display on the desktop in full view?” A screenshot of the situation may help your readers to understand it better. Thanks. – David Foerster Aug 17 '18 at 10:20
  • Hi David Foerster! Thank you for the advice here. After working on this for a couple more hours I found that there was an issue with the display functionality on my Ubuntu where it thought that I had 2 displays. Therefore, it was showing the PyCharm on the other "display". Once I changed the display settings PyCharm showed up on my display. – Blake Enyart Aug 17 '18 at 19:41

This happened to me a while back and i tried resetting and it worked, my recommendation, restart Ubuntu, run it, if that doesnt work; uninstall PyCharm then restart Ubuntu, then re-install, just restarting always worked for me.
