I updated Power Automate Desktop to August 2021 (version 2.12.171.21216) last week. I attempted to use a Java applet running on jre1.8.0_261 today and received the error message below. After a bit of searching, I came across some articles that mentioned modifying the accessibility.properties file and either fixing, removing, or commenting out the incorrect reference. I attempted to update to what appeared to be the correct dll reference, but the same error occurred. I had to completely remove the assistive_technologies reference in order for the unrelated Java applet to run.
I tried to find any means other than these forums to report this issue, but (obviously, I guess) my search came back with no good results. Is this the proper place to submit these types of issues? Any guidance would be appreciated.

accessibility.properties details:
dll referenced (I believe - shows created on my machine on 8/18 - the date I updated):
PowerAutomate Desktop installer adds a line in C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_XXX\lib\accessibility.properties but doesn't change it when updated or uninstalled. This is a Power Automate Desktop bug.
As a result, Java8 can't start.
