DOPE and Longstring property bug

The other day a colleague of mine got a report from a customer that when trying to use DOPE on certain pages an exception was thrown.

First I thought that it was a problem with a custom property but after viewing the code for the page type which was real simple, that it was a

<EPiServer:Propertye PropertyeName=”longstringproperty” /> that caused the problem.

Changing the property type to Xhtmlstring solved the problem.

This has been confirmed by EPiServer as a bug.
