Created attachment 229 [details] system/ide.log
Although I could not reproduce the exception, I've changed the code in FormTopComponent to check formManager is not null - this should fix the problem.
verified in [main trunk](001123) and [main trunk](nb 78), and boston(1160)
Resolved for 3.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
