Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The Quick Access field allows for the invocation of various actions. Because the Filters actions wasn't correctly filtered from the list, executing it would cause the exception due to the context of the action being incorrect. For more technical details, see: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=420189
Problem conclusion
The action wasn't intended to be available outside of the context of the editor that it is used in. The action has been corrected so that it will only be available when the context allows it. The fix for this APAR is included in Rational Application Developer v9.0.1.
