When a file opened in an editor has some inlined annotations added, then they may become available to other editors/viewers because the annotation model can be shared. In case in the other viewer, the range differs because of different collapsed/expanded area and some part of the code mining rendering will then fail as they assume the annotation is still used in the same viewer and code is missing some guards.
Eg
java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "org.eclipse.jface.text.IRegion.getOffset()" because "widgetRange" is null
