NullPointerException after expanding LDAP tree and "Error notifying a preference change listener" in "attr/val quick filter"

Hello,

there is some problem with attribute/value quick filter.

Start Apache DirStudio, open connection to LDAP server.

Find a tree with some objects and some subtrees.

Expand one subtree and keep other subtree collapsed.

Open one object, enter some text to attribute/value quick filter - this will filter only those lines containing entered text in attribute/value field. [OK]

Now, open other object on the same level and change the text in attribute/value filter. This will refilter the displayed lines. [OK]

Now open some object from already expanded subtree and change the text in attribute/value filter. This will refilter the displayed lines. [OK]

Now open some collapsed subtree. Select some object and try to change attribute/value filter text - this generates error

"Error notifying a preference change listener. Check the log for details. java.lang.NullPointerException"

If you have open some object and you expand some subtree, it will generate following message to the log:

Since then, you cannot use attribute/value quick filter in the object view - if you use it, the Apache DirStudio generates window with error "Error notifying a preference change listener. Check the log for details. java.lang.NullPointerException" and there is following message in the log:

==================================================

If you close object view before you expand some subtree, you can still use attribute/value quick filter. First time you expand some subtree while there is open some object, it breaks the quick filter funtionality.
