Build Identifier: M20110210-1200

Whenever we open two properties view using "new properties view" option in the menu bar  and trying to close both then exception is thrown which can be seen in the error log.

same error is occuring in latest eclipse also

Thanks ,
Vishal

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open any properties view for a editor or a tree viewer where it is contributed 2. Go to the menu bar for the opened properties view, and select an action "New Properties view". A new proprties view opens up.
3. close the newly properties view .
4. try to close the original properties view and it shows the unhandles exception in the error log.
After that all other action in the associated editor or the viewer throws exception irrespective of any action.

Please check it as early as possible.

Can you please attach the problem from your error log?  This is not a problem in PDE, but I don't know where to move this bug.

NPE is coming from Platform UI.  Moving to them for comment.

Is there anything else in your error log?  I can't reproduce this with the project properties (selecting in the package explorer) or repo properties (selecting in the Git Repo view) and 2 properties views.

M20110210-1200 seems to be 3.6.2 (Helios SR2).  Can you reproduce with Indigo (3.7.2) ?

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the "stalebug" whiteboard tag.
