Build Identifier: 20110916-0149

I was trying to modify the attributes for an HTML element inside the Web Page Editor using the Attributes tab of the Properties view.  This works fine in the Helios release, but doesn't work in the Indigo Service Release 1.  If I click inside an element (e.g., <input>) and then on the Attributes tab, I get a dialog that contains java.lang.NullPointerException.  It says to see the error log for more details.  This is what I see in the log:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui.views.properties.tabbed 4 2 2011-11-23 22:25:35.900
