Java 17 works properly for me.
Given that long-term support for Java 8 ended in March of this year, this ticket may not be classified as a bug.
This would mean that many players will need to update java to play the 1.19 update, which they should probably do anyway for security reasons.
I can confirm this still happens in 1.19-pre1
I have Java 8 installed, and I tried re-installing it. The bug persisted.
(I am going to try Java 17 next)
