Spring Application wrong starting behavior

When configuring the launch.json for a Spring gradle based application I sometimes cannot run the application with command-line arguments.

Example configuration:
{
"type": "java",
"name": "DEBUG config",
"request": "launch",
"mainClass": "MyMainClass",
"projectName": "serverProject",
"vmArgs": "-DsomeVmArgument=true",
"args": "--commandLineArgument"
}

When creating a configuration I sometimes need to add command-line arguments. Those are written in the "args" section. The issue is that when I add this args section the app sometimes starts and sometimes doesn't. The error message is in general non existent or I get an error like the following:
"A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x00007ffa20966639, pid=17536, tid=11700

An error report file with more information is saved as:

If I do not have args and just use replacement vmargs the application works all the time.

Environment
Operating System: Windows 10
JDK version: 11.0.2
Visual Studio Code version: 1.62.3
Java extension pack version: 0.19.0
Java language support extension version: 1.1.0
Java Debugger extension version: 0.37.0
Steps To Reproduce
Create a large Spring project based on gradle
Create a launch configuration
Add the args section in the launch configuration
Current Result
The app sometimes does not start. When it starts it works flawlessly.

Expected Result
The app should always start.

Additional Information
The project I am working on is a large one with many subprojects. The code is private. As such I cannot provide it as an example. The issue may be hard to reproduce on other projects, as it has a strange behavior.
