Result

setting on startup of the launcher is used, not the one just entered.

Tester information (Internal use only)

Selecting your own java path works.
However, switching the mode inside the launcher does not take effect immediately.

The display below switches to:
"Use custom java", but the launcher will still launch the previous setting.
Same for the other direction, switching from custom to bundled.
You need to restart the launcher, else it will not update the used setting.
