Policy Studio crashes when showing console view

Problem

Policy Studio crashes when you show the console view (Window->Show View->Console).
The following error appears in the command prompt:

java: cairo-misc.c:380: _cairo_operator_bounded_by_source: Assertion `NOT_REACHED' failed.


Resolution

This error may occur if the machine does not have Cairo Graphics installed.

This can be solved by installing them or, as a workaround, by adding:

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.cairoGraphics=false

to the policystudio.ini file and restarting Policy Studio.
