      Issue Summary

      We have observed Null Pointer Exception in the logs after checking and unchecking an inline task on a Confluence page

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Start a new confluence instance
      2. Create a new page
      3. Add a task, check it, assign it to a user (e.g. @admin)
      4. Publish the new page
      5. On the resulting page view: uncheck the new task again

      Expected Results

      Confluence processes the unchecking without error.

      Actual Results

      Tasks checking and unchecking is not properly processed and tasks appear to be checked and unchecked at random, without any user input.
      The below Null  pointer exception is thrown in the Atlassian-confluence.log file:
