ACS 5250 emulator crashes on Mac in dark mode

After upgrading to MacOS Catalina I switched to the dark mode.
After that I was unable to start any 5250 session.
I got the message "Invalid session profile".
Switching back to normal mode solved the problem.

Use Case:

As a Mac Os user in dark mode I want to be able to use the IBM Access Client Solutions software.

    This is a known issue with the JDK. Additional information is available here:

    It sounds more like a PMR rather like a RFE.

    Btw, I'm running in dark mode on mac, so maybe just try to create a new session.hod file and see if fixes the problem.
