PH50077: DESIGN STUDIO CRASH WHEN 'SHOW FLOATING COMPONENT TYPE' OPTION IS SELECTED

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• It may be observed that the Design Studio will crash, when
  switching to a Functional Map, if 'Show floating component type'
  option is selected.
  
  The setting is stored in the file
  com.ibm.websphere.dtx.ui.me.prefs which resides in <workspace>
  \.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings
  
  The following option consistently made the Design Studio crash:
  Show\ floating=true
  
  When commented out the Design Studio works as expected.
  
  In Windows > Preferences > Transformation Extender > Map the
  option 'Show floating component type' (at the bottom of the
  screen) can be selected.  The Design Studio will crash if this
  box is selected, when you save the preferences and then try to
  open any Functional Map.
