This really should be a P2 or P1. It prevents you from opening the Options dialog if it was last left on the Hints page. This is possibly related to the new code from issue #181726.
Reproducible this starts occurring after setting project specific hints
It happens here if I go to the global hints as well (I don't have any Ant projects).
