[SOLVED] Intellij does not start since last update

Since the last update yesterday, Intellij no longer starts on my system:

~> idea
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: Archived non-system classes are disabled because the java.system.class.loader property is specified (value = "com.intellij.util.lang.PathClassLoader"). To use archived non-system classes, this property must not be set

**Start Failed**

Internal error

Any idea as to why this might be happening?
Downgrading via

# pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/intellij-idea-community-edition-4:2024.1.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Lets it start normally again.

Did you see https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/ID … -home-path? Does any path include an exclamation mark?

Nope. It's /usr/share/idea as packaged.
I also tried starting with openjdk-22 and debugging some variables.
All seems fine:

There's a newer version in the testing repos that has a fix (and upstream update) applied.
