FRM-92100 and java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException when using Forms Built-in Edit_TextItem

We recently upgraded from Forms and Reports 6i to 10g.

We've found that when our users attempt to modify a field using the built-in editor (called with Edit_TextItem) they sometimes recieve an error message. It seems to only happen if they open the text editor on a field which already contains data, modify the data, and then close the editor. If they cut out the data and paste it right back in before making their edits, everything works fine.

FRM-92100: Your Connection to the Server was interrupted.
This may be the result of a network error, or a failure on the Server.
You will need to reestablish you connection.
