Editing a plugin.xml (in the xml view) while there are PDE search results causes  the following exception:

Steps:

1. open two plugn.xml files and switch to the plugin.xml tab - in my case I opened org.eclipse.sdk and org.eclipse.wst's plugin.xml
2. do a PDE search for 'org.eclipse.ui.activities' - searching for 'extension points' limited to 'references' and on 'enabled plugins only'.
3. make sure the Search view is open
4. in one of the plugin.xml files add a space and save
5. switch to the other plugin.xml and then back to the one you added the space to.

Expected 
Nothing. It would simply show me the plugin.xml

Happens
The exception pasted above.
