Comment 1 MackSix 2013-04-17 20:43:00 UTC

The cause of this is adding comment markers "<!-- -->" around the <properties> tags. I guess it is not really a bug, although it should handle the case where there is no <properites> tag more gracefully. Lowering to P4.

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
