When you open the editor, while preparing the editor, it makes a call that makes a call, that makes a call, etc. Eventually that gets to a line that call core eclipse code. The core eclipse code then tries to access the editor. The problem is that the editor is still in the process of opening. There is probably a more elegant way to fix this, since the problem is that it is trying to access a variable that has not been set yet. The data that will be set already exists in a temporary variable, so one possible fix could be to set the variable sooner, but I am not sure if that would cause larger problems. However, the line that was causing the problem, appeared, based on the comment, to fix an obscure seldom encountered problem. So I commented that line out and I have not had any problems.
