pdfsam fails to start.

I tried to reinstall it and reboot, not to avail.

Last time I successfully used it was on the 26th January, haven't tried using it since.

Other users on the forum have confirmed it doesn't start on their system too.

Here's the output from a terminal.

Looks like openjdk-11 commit https://dev.getsol.us/R4992:0427d25d9c64c6752caa878e8495ba17882c5137 broke pdfsam. Running pdfsam against their own supplied runtime works without a problem.

Seems like this is a known issue with JavaFX 11. I'm not sure why it only manifested with the mentioned commit, but in any case, I'm working on a fix. It should also resolve the issues people are having with bisq.

@akrenz It actually broke with commit https://dev.getsol.us/R4992:9a0facf8e6aa47f6b7fb61f8ce388afbbd9bfa0a, not the most recent one. Anyway, D10859 fixes it on my system, so just waiting for it to be accepted and committed.
