Exception in thread "main" java.lang.VerifyError: Bad type on operand stack Java 8 121 but not on Java 11

Question

I know that a fix was made on Java 8 Build 75 https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8006684 and I cannot reproduce the same problem with the code that break on version before 75. But this code is throwing the exception on Java 8-121 but not on Java 11. In which version of the JDK was this problem solved?

A example this code was generating the problem on versions before 75 but not afterwards.

public static void main(String[] args) {
    xxx();
}
static void xxx() {
    Functional1 f  = () -> {
        Object o = new Object() { };
        return new A();
    };
}
static class A { }
static interface Functional1 { A func(); }

But my code is throwing the exception on Java 8-121 but not on Java 11.

The code is just a example of the real code to be able to represent it but still in a single way.

class Element{
    private final String data;
    public Element(final String data) {
        this.data = data;
    }    
    public String getData() {
        return data;
    }    
}

class Html{
    protected Element doSomething(final String data){
        return new Element(data);
    }
}

class A{
    protected final Html html = new Html();
}
class B extends A{}
class C extends B{}
class D extends C{}
class E extends D{}

public final class JavaBug extends E{
    private final List<SupplierElementWithMapper>data = Arrays.asList(new SupplierElementWithMapper(""));
    public static void main(String[] args)throws Exception{
        System.out.println("JavaVersion: "+System.getProperty("java.version"));
        final JavaBug clazz = new JavaBug();        
    }
    
    private final class SupplierElementWithMapper{
        private final Supplier<Element> supplier;
        private final Function<Element,String> mapper;
        private UnaryOperator<String> unaryOperator = UnaryOperator.identity();

        public SupplierElementWithMapper(final String selector) {
            this(()->html.doSomething(selector),Element::getData);
        }
        public SupplierElementWithMapper(final Supplier<Element> supplier,final Function<Element, String> mapper) {
            this.supplier = supplier;
            this.mapper = mapper;
        }

        private SupplierElementWithMapper addUnaryOperator(final UnaryOperator<String>unaryOperator){
            this.unaryOperator = unaryOperator;
            return this;
        }    
    }    
}

The console

The problem is this line in the supplier.

this(()->html.doSomething(selector),Element::getData);

Is calling a protected member i have try with no success.

this(()->{return html.doSomething(selector);},Element::getData);
this(()->JavaBug.super.html.doSomething(selector),Element::getData);
this(()->getHtml().doSomething(selector),Element::getData);/*ADDING IN THE CODE THE GETTER*/

But this works.

this(()->JavaBug.this.html.doSomething(selector),Element::getData);

How can I find in which version this fix was made? I need to inform into my team.

In the IntelliJ idea prompt states that Source code don't match bytecode

Same problem with 121 https://discuss.newrelic.com/t/verifyerror-bad-type-on-operand-stack/50700

I think the solution might be this.

Your problem is an instance of JDK-8184989:

The fix for JDK-8129740 is incomplete. It fails on cases when outer class is a subclass and the entities of it's [sic] superclass are referred to in lambda expression.

This bug has been close with “Fix Version/s: 10” and I can indeed reproduce your problem with JDK-9.0.4 but not with JDK-10.0.2.

The referenced JDK-8129740 is the bug report linked in this Q&A you already backlinked via a comment.
