Error message "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" when working with merged files in review mode

Emma Daisy Waites

I am using SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1 - 14.1.10018.54792

When I am working with files merged on the fly in review mode, I get the error message "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" when I try to save them. Also, when I export multiple files from the same project for bilingual review, import the changes and then try to work on the merged files with reviewed changes, I also get the same error message.

This problem only started to occur after I applied an update in November/December 2019. Strangely, according to the release notes, this update was supposed to fix precisely this problem.

Full details of the error message below:

    Not that I can remember. I just went to work on a set of files in the usual way and then found I couldn't save. Ditto for editing. For cross-file consistency I ended up having to run F8 on the files, take screenshots of my edits with tracked changes, close the files again and then add the edits to each file. I couldn't even run a bilingual preview because of course Trados need to (save and) close the file to do so. I assumed it was the specific files, but since I came back to work after Christmas it's happening on every project with multiple files (which in my case is most), hence my search on here yesterday.

    I am using the same version as you. I updated shortly before Christmas.
