[MCL-11297] Minecraft Launcher crashes with every version except the latest one

Launching any other version except the newest one makes the launcher crash.

The same issue existed before the launcher UI changed.

After crashing the launcher pops up again (see mc-crash.png) clicking "view crash report" doesn't do anything.

Thanks for your bug report! I could reproduce it, and it seems to happen when using openjre-11. Please try the following:

1. Locate the instance you want to run in the installations tab, and click on it.

2. Click "More options"

3. Write

/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/bin/java

in the "Java executable text" field.

4. Save and click play

Thanks!
It works now.
