IntelliJ IDEA not working on Ubuntu 17

I installed IntelliJ and it got installed successfully then when I tried to configure project structure, it wasn't working. I was clicking that option but nothing was happening.

Also when I tried to create a new project, i was getting the same result. I was simply clicking that option but nothing was happening.

I re-installed it several times but nothing happened and the result was same.

The intellij-idea-community snap package works OK with openjdk-8-jdk without requiring a lot of special configuration, and it also is updated automatically. Open the terminal and type:

sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk
sudo snap install --classic intellij-idea-community 

This installs the IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition version 2018.1.1.
