Not able to Run->Debug in Intellij Idea 2022.1, it shut's down immediately with exit code 2

See original GitHub issue

I face what seems like a similar issue as #11086 with 2.8.15 and the latest IntelliJ Idea (IntelliJ IDEA 2022.1 (Ultimate Edition) Build #IU-221.5080.210, built on April 12, 2022). Just like with the problem above it works fine running sbt run but not Idea->Run->Debug. It works perfectly well on linux, but not on two different Windows computers.

Reproduce:

Create a brand new project with sbt new playframework/play-java-seed.g8
Open with Idea
Use run->debug->sbt task with “Use sbt shell” disabled
IntelliJ is configured with Oracle OpenJDK 11.0.14, SBT Shell use for both “project reloads” and “build”. “Use Play 2 compiler for this project” is disabled (tried both).

When starting the debugger it builds just fine, but when it after building opens the debugger console it exits immediately:

Connected to the target VM, address: ‘127.0.0.1:52457’, transport: ‘socket’ Disconnected from the target VM, address: ‘127.0.0.1:52457’, transport: ‘socket’ Process finished with exit code 2

Closing Idea and running call sbt run > test.log 2>&1 works, but maybe the first error is the problem? Output from test.log:

— (Running the application, auto-reloading is enabled) —

[info] p.c.s.AkkaHttpServer - Listening for HTTP on /0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:9000

(Server started, use Enter to stop and go back to the console…)

I tried SBT versions from 1.4.0->1.6.2 and also downgrading Play back to 2.8.8.
