This error is happening when performing a show in table of contents for a generated page. It should be easy to fix.

Thank you, Chris, for your prompt response. We not not moving to Eeclipse 3.7 yet. Can you please port it back to 3.6.2?
Comment 5 Chris Goldthorpe CLA 2010-11-05 16:11:48 EDT 
Are you seeing the problem anywhere other than in this test project? The bug will only be encountered when you go to a navigation page ( a page with no href where Eclipse generates the links for you) which has the same title as another page in the same table of contents.

This was a problem we actually found in our product doc. We have differnt books which have the similar toc structure. And some pages don't have a real page, only contain a bunch of toc files. 
After investigating the problem for a while, we found the help template share the same problem. That's why we opened this bug.
