I've deleted /build folder and rebuilt jadx, but this error still occurs. Still testing, this error is currently found to occur on 75b52d6 and a few versions before.

I thought it was a bug introduced by the update, but I have tried rebooting my computer, rebuilding many older versions, directly using releases from this repo, and this error still occurs. So I think it should be caused by something else (e.g. jre). I'll reopen an issue if necessary.

You came to the same conclusion like skylot an myself (see issues #1574 #1552). If I remember correctly you are the first user who is able to reproduce this issue with multiple Jadx versions respectively multiple times. The other reports sounded mire like a glitch that happens under some rare conditions.

The interesting part is, now that we have three different reports of the same problem, that they all contain Windows 11 as OS. This may be coincidence but my the chance is rising that this is an Windows 11 related problem in combination with Java/OpenJDK.

[xxr0ss]

this is an Windows 11 related problem in combination with Java/OpenJDK.

That's true @jpstotz . I've tried different builds of Java: AdoptOpenJDK, Microsoft JDK, Oracle OpenJDK. The same error never stops.
Currently I'm on Windows 11 22622.450, and I remember that Jadx was working fine half a month ago. So it is very likely that this issue was introduced in the last one or two updates of Windows 11.
