Error description

• Several currentItem binding-related issues can occur in a Coach
  when a Coach View binds to a currentItem of a variable of List.
  The symptoms can occur under various conditions when currentItem
  is bound to Coach View. For example:
  
  -- nested coach views that bind to currentItem might not sync up
  their states correctly even though they bind to the same boolean
  type option binding inside a   repeating section.
  
  -- binding for a Coach View that binds to a currentItem inside a
  repeating section is not updated after deletion of an item in a
  List.
  
  -- a stale currentItem binding can exist when a binding variable
  (List of BO type) gets replaced. As a result, calling
  this.context.binding.get("value") could return the value that
  existed prior to the replacement value.
  
  -- some Coach Views might not get the currentItem binding value
  (property in a complex BO type) in repeating sections correctly
  after the items are added to the List. This can be accompanied
  by a JavaScript error "TypeError: previousNode is null" in the
  browser console.
  
  -- A Coach View (which binds to currentItem) and binding data
  might get out of sync after a binding variable (List type) has
  multiple add item, delete item, and complete replacement
  operations.
