main menus don't work on IntelliJ IDEA 2021.3.1 ultimate after upgrade

Answered

I upgraded to Build #IU-213.6461.79 today, and now the main menu items in the top menu bar (mac os) don't work.   If I click on a menu like File, Edit, View, Navigate etc., the ui just flashes.    The file has this error:

2022-01-03 12:15:06,834 [ 209730]  ERROR - oncurrency.BoundedTaskExecutor - Exception 'java.lang.IllegalAccessError: class com.intellij.ui.mac.touchbar.NST (in unnamed module @0x16033d3e) cannot access class sun.awt.image.WritableRasterNative (in module java.desktop) because module java.desktop does not export sun.awt.image to unnamed module @0x16033d3e' was reported 120 times

note that reinstalling did not fix it.

Please make sure IntelliJ IDEA is running under the bundled JetBrains Runtime 11, see https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/206544879.

yup, changing the boot runtime to "use default runtime" fixed it.   Thanks
