Description netmackan 2009-01-31 12:23:05 UTC 
Right-click on a word (that isn't a variable/label etc) and press Rename (Ctrl+R) throws a NullPointerException.

Clearly that is not supposed to happen and instead just do nothing is one option but another option is to map the Rename
to a Replace (Ctrl+H) if it is not a variable which could be what the user mean by renaming a natural language word.
Just a thought.

I have fixed the NPE:

I will keep this report open to think about the fallback to search&replace, although I am not sure if this is doable at all.

Thanks for the report.
