I'm using ActionBarSherlock in my Android project, and it's awesome. One small issue: My app theme inherits from Sherlock.Theme.Light.DarkActionBar, which is fine to do and it will run as expected. The problem is whenever I try to open any of my layout files in the Eclipse editor, it throws up a StackOverFlowError.
The only way to get rid of that is to change the style/theme being used to preview the layout (in the dropdown box up in the right corner), but then I don't get to preview it the way it will actually look. Is there a way to fix this?
Here's what the error log shows:

... and so on
Use Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar in the layout editor for a comparable look. This is a bug in ADT.
