Error description

  • Various functions while in offline mode of a z/OS project seem
    to behave abnormally.
    
    1. Rename and Delete actions were leading to
    NullPointerException.
    
    2. Copy action from offline project provoked the loss of
    content for the original source.
    (the contained data is completely gone from the source)
    
    Other actions in offline mode against a project seem to work
    properly.
