  PK73690 addresses this condition for read mode but the
  exceptioncan also be encountered when opening the document in
  edit mode.
  

Problem conclusion

• ProfileControlSubFormMapper.createCategoriesField passes 2
  arrays to FieldBuilder.createRestrictedMultiSelectField and in
  the event the user does not have access to one or more
  categories then the arrays will be different sizes and therefore
  the ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException will be thrown.
  

Temporary fix

• give authors access to all categories
