All command blocks with new /execute format that's created before 1.19.50 update doesn't work now.
command block with new /execute format in the video (Written before 1.19.50): /execute positioned 978 -59 1018 run testforblocks ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~-3
It somehow results error with "run" part and this shouldn't happen...
at least I can fix it when I write something random and update the command block and revert the change to original command block, as you can see in the video,
but this is extremely annoying bug as i wrote like 500+ command blocks with new format in 1.19.40
Note: It seems that command block with "Version 21~24" will result in error with new /execute format. I used my data editor to rewrite version "24" into "25" and the command block worked correctly.
[media](One at the top is a repeating command block which doesn't work since 1.19.50, it's version value is "24".
And other one is a repeating command block which I fixed using the method above, it's version value is "25")

I like to think this is an unintended side effect to an intentional change. This is the consequences of the backwards compatibility system implemented for command blocks.
When the new /execute syntax was being developed under experimental, the command blocks were versioned for 1.19.10 (probably in that 21-24 version range) such that old command blocks would continue to use the old syntax, while new or updated command blocks would use the new syntax. Similarly, when the new /execute syntax released into stable, the command blocks were versioned yet again for 1.19.50 (version 25); this once again marked those command blocks as "old" and they began to use the old syntax again.
Thank you for your report!
After consideration, the issue is being closed as Working as Intended.
Please note, that mechanics of the game may change between updates.

Can't you developers just fix this issue by making programs rewrite version 21~24 into 25? I really don't know that much about coding, though.
