PI75185: RHAPSODY IS CRASHING WHEN USER ADDS A NEW PORT TO DIAGRAM

IBM Rational Rhapsody 8.2.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When user attempts to add a port to a component diagram,
  Rhapsody crashes with a "Rhapsody MFC Application has stopped
  working" error. This is not just happening for the one user.
  This happens even when the project opened locally. They also
  observed more crashing since they started using ports more
  extensively, but it wasn't reproducible. It may happen multiple
  times, but would then disappear after closing all instances of
  Rhapsody, Eclipse, and killing all remaining Java processes.
  
  Reproduced in Rhapsody 8.1.5 iFix 2 and Rhapsody 8.2
