When opening work item via Eclipse/RTC I see: An internal error occurred during: "Synchronizing Work Item Read State With Change Events".

 Hello,

I'm having the same problem.  I solved it a month or so by abandoning my eclipse workspace and creating a new one, but that is a frustrating way to go.  It's happening again...
