After updating to MacOS 26.5.2, jEdit does not work anymore. It starts, but it is imposssible to edit any file. I have uploaded a Screen Recording, where I start jEdit and try to open a file : https://limewire.com/d/g8zgl#0iuMlpN1oF

As you can see, the screen looks completely garbled. I must add that I haven't used it for a while, so I don't know whether the most recent OS update broke it or something else. FYI, I have the following Java versions installed:

In /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/temurin-8.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java is 1.8.0_482
In /usr/bin/java is 25.0.2

I don't know which one jEdit decides, which one to pick.

Let me know if I need to supply additional debugging information.

    Additional information:

    I can open Plugins/ErrorList, but the error list is empty.

    When I do a Plugins/Plugins/Console, nothing opens.

    I recommend reinstalling jEdit. The install process should find the newer Java.
