Situation:
Designer 8.5 is open with one or more of the following types of design elements open:
themes, xpages, style sheet (maybe also others)
Designer is closed without prviously closing those elements.
Problem:
Re-opening the designer client results in numerous errors when - for some reason unknown to me - it is trying to re-open those elements (classical elements like agents… aren’t re-opened automatically).
errors displayed are usually similar to this one:
"An error has occurred. See error log for more details.
java.lang.NullPointerException"
The panel where the element is supposed to display just contains another error message like
“Could not open the editor: An unexpected exception was thrown”
Solution:
close the failed editor panel and re-open it manually from the applications panel.
