Burp stops accepting keyboard input

I am having an issue identical to this one: https://support.portswigger.net/customer/portal/questions/11672133-unable-to-type-anything-on-any-field . The same issue affects OS X 10.12.5 with Java 8 Update 131. This is the current Java version available via the download link provided by Portswigger's 'getting started' page at https://portswigger.net/burp/help/suite_gettingstarted.html . The answer above just says to try a different version of Java, and doesn't specify which will work on OS X... Is there a recommended Java version to use on OS X? I hate to stand up yet another VM, just for running Burp. Thanks, Reid

Can I suggest you use the "Download for Mac OSX" on our website. This contains an embedded JVM known to work well with Burp and resolves many of these issues. We will be updating the getting started documentation to make this clearer. Please let us know if you need any further assistance.
