Integrated jxBrowser not working

[AIO]

Hi there,
after installing STM32CubeIDE for the first time I cannot get it up and running.
When I open any window which seems to rely on the included jxbrowser nothing happens.

This prevents me from logging into my ST Account, viewing the Information center, opening the "Manage embbeded software packages" window and so on.
As soon as I executed one of the actions above errors are generated in the logfiles (see attached below).

I am running a Linux VM with the following specs:
Linux VM-Kubuntu-23 6.5.0-26-generic #26-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue Mar  5 21:19:28 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64
x86_64 GNU/Linux

I tried installing and reinstalling versions 1.14 and 1.15 with the same outcome and problem every time.
I tried using the Debian and generic Linux version with the same outcome and problem every time.

Is there anything I can do to work around this bug?
