Description Jeff McAffer CLA 2011-02-27 14:01:14 EST 
If you have a set of preference contributions such that the first page in the first entry (e.g., the Aardvark prefs) in the list has some error (e.g., references a class that is not found) then the preference page dialog fails when it is opened and is completely blank.

The failure mode here should be more graceful with the failing page being blank but the others (and the list of pref pages) should still function.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

If the bug is still relevant please remove the stalebug whiteboard tag.
