dialog-select causes builder to fail to load form

Hey all;

I’m doing some work with Orbeon 4.0m10PE (migrating to m11 now), and I noticed a big problem.

We want to make extensive use of dialog-select and dialog-select1 in our forms. I noticed these controls are not included by default in the set of controls for builder. I also saw Bug #381 explaining why they were removed from builders config for now. I can live with the issue described in bug #381, so I added these two controls into builder’s config via my properties-local.xml file.

In doing so I have encountered another, issue.

Steps:

·         Re-add oxf:/xbl/orbeon/dialog-select/dialog-select.xbl to FB toolbox

·         Goto http://localhost:8080/alfresco/wcservice/orbeon/Builder

·         Create a new form.

·         Add a dialog-select box

·         Test it. It works fine.

·         Hit ‘Save and continue’.

·         Hit ‘Close’ to go back to http://localhost:8080/alfresco/wcservice/orbeon/Builder

·         Click on the form you just created to edit it again.

·         The Form builder never comes up fully. Instead you see only the Orbeon and “Form Builder” header images, and the button bar. The rest of the screen is blank.

If it’s of any help at all, on the last step, when form builder fails to come up fully, the browsers javascript reports the error “Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'tagName' of null” in file orbeon-e43d9bee959efc7437eb1ebecb9b4e31cd7e6f04.js:20. I wlll try to reproduce the issue with minimal and combined resources turned off to see if I can get a more detailed stack dump.

Again, I don’t know if the javascript error I see in when following the below steps is related at all (though I only see this error when doing the steps outlined below to demonstrate the issue with dialog-select and FormBuilder). But just in case, here is the stack dump after I turned “minimal resources” off.
