LiveCycle Designer ES2: Designer hangs after renaming the binding file

Issue

While editing an XDP in certain versions of LiveCycle Designer ES2, if the data binding file on disk is renamed, designer registers this change and offers to reload the current form.  If you then click Save, it again offers to reload the current form.  After clicking “Yes” to reload the form, you may notice that Designer hangs.

Method:
1. Download test_files.zip
2. Extract the 2 files to the same local folder
3. Open XDP in Designer
4. Rename the binding XML file in your local folder
5. You will see a dialog in Designer asking to reload the form, click Yes
6. Click Save
7. Again the dialog in Designer asking to reload the form, click Yes

Result:
Designer hangs

This is an issue in certain versions of LiveCycle Designer ES2 and has been addressed in later versions, including Designer ES3.  If you require a quickfix for this issue in LiveCycle Designer ES2 you should contact the enterprise support team.
