Created attachment 80596 [details] stacktrace
I am sorry, I am not able to reproduce this issue and the attached exception is not sufficient to track the problem down. Are you still able to reproduce it? If so, could you, please, provide more details? It would be ideal to attach the problematic form (both .java and .form files) whose preview leads to this exception. Thank you in advance.
All reported issues are from version 6.5 (and preceding). As there is no report for 6.7 + no additional comment was added since Apr 23, I am closing this issue. If anyone encounters this problem in 6.7, please reopen and add some additional info (steps to reproduce etc.) Thanks
