Additional context

the corresponding code line is:

        this.locale = new Locale(localeCode.substring(0, 2), localeCode.substring(3));

my localeCode is "en". There is no country information. thus localeCode.substring(3) causes an out of index. the code could check for the length, and ceate a local without country when no present.

Thank you for detailed report!

[developersu]

Fixed version, in case you need it ;)

[hypnotiger]

This issue is present for me as well in the 7.0 version that's posted in Releases, and I have a similar setup (Arch, Java 20.0.1+9, no country in locales). Could this fix be merged into the main .jar file sometime? Although - thanks a lot for the fix anyways!

[developersu]

Yeah, it could, it's already merged in source code level. I'm just lazy to create new release.. (There won't be any difference between release version and the one that I mentioned above, in case you're not sure in build stability)

Thank you!
