I cannot reproduce this issue, josm works as expected on my system.

Ensure that you have configured openjdk-9 as the default:

  update-java-alternatives -s java-1.9.0-openjdk-amd64

If the issue persists try starting josm with a clean profile:

  JAVA_OPTS="-Djosm.home=${HOME}/.josm-new-home" josm

If that works, there is probably a plugin, setting or other file in your 
JOSM directory that breaks the new version.

Kind Regards,
