I should... but, I'll see first on another PC (one that has java installed) if it behaves same.
Finally figured it out: installation of Java was not the culprit, but rather it's was just a keyboard shortcut conflict error coming from another running application in the background. I disabled the keyboard+mouse shortcut in that app, and now the aforementioned function works perfectly on REW. So there's no bug at all that needs to be reported.
