Description

Creating a new accessControlSubentry fails due to inability to edit the value of the subtreeSpecification attribute. Steps to reproduce:

Right-click on an object in the DIT, choosing New, New Entry.
Create entry from scratch and click next.
Add accessControlSubentry and subentry classes and click next.
Name the object.

At this point, behavior is inconsistent. Sometimes, an error message displays:

An error has occurred. See error log for more details.
java.lang.NullPointerException

Other times, the value editor for prescriptiveACI attribute is launched. In either case, attempting to edit the value for the subtreeSpecification attribute is unsuccessful. Double clicking on the attribute or its value does nothing. Right-clicking and choosing a value editor (any, actually, included in-place and text editor) also do nothing.
