Autopsy stalls because I cannot click the "Information" dialog #7870

System Environment OS: Debian 12 (bookworm) Autopsy: autopsy-4.21.0 SleuthKit: sleuthkit-java 4.12.1 Java: update-java-alternatives -l | grep java-1.17: java-1.17.0-openjdk-amd64 1711 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.17.0-openjdk-amd64

Problem When I start ./autopsy, it shows the loading graphic, which states, "Starting modules,,," at the bottom. If I hover over the application in the lower panel, I can see the preview of an "Information" dialog, that presumably requires the user to click the OK button to continue. However, there's no way to show the dialog to click the button.

The software stays like this forever. In the shell, it shows the following:

$ ./autopsy 
WARNING: Unknown module: javafx.base specified to --add-exports
WARNING: Unknown module: javafx.controls specified to --add-exports
WARNING: Unknown module: javafx.controls specified to --add-opens
Temp Folder for Libraries: /tmp
SleuthkitJNI: loaded libtsk_jni

After a few restarts, the software continues past the dialog. In the shell, it shows the following:

WARNING: A terminally deprecated method in java.lang.System has been called
WARNING: System::setSecurityManager has been called by org.netbeans.TopSecurityManager (file:/home/myuser/autopsy/autopsy-4.21.0/platform/lib/boot.jar)
WARNING: Please consider reporting this to the maintainers of org.netbeans.TopSecurityManager

It seems that a workaround is to click the close button on the preview for the "Information" dialog.
