I'm having a hard time reproducing without steps.

Can you provide any more information on what you may have been doing at the time this exception took place?

Were you working in a JS file or in an HTML/JSP page?

Were you referencing any external JS files? If so, were they source files in your workspace or were you pointing at a library?

Did you have any JSdoc comments in the code you were writing?

Were you specifically using hover help on any items in your source file? On functions, variables, something else?

Did you have any validation errors in your project?

I can't reproduce this bug. 

Please re-open if you can provide steps to reproduce or experience this problem again.

Thanks,
Chris
