Error: 'Cannot save bitmap to disk' when attempting to save HTML

In Lotus Notes, if HTML is pasted into a Notes rich text field in a subform, an error message displays when attempting to save the document:

In Notes 5 releases:
"Cannot save bitmap to disk."

In Notes 6 releases:
"Cannot save bitmap to disk.
Error found attempting to quit.
Choose Yes to continue editing, No to quit."

If the same HTML is pasted into a rich text field on a form, the error does not display.

This issue was reported to Quality Engineering as SPR# DPOL5UCJDY and was fixed in Notes/Domino release 6.5.5.

Excerpt from the Lotus Notes and Domino Release 6.5.5 MR fix list (available at http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus):

HTML

• SPR# DPOL5UCJDY - If html is pasted into a rich text field in a subform, the error, "Cannot save bitmap to disk," is displayed when attempting to save the document.

There is no workaround currently available other than updating your Notes version.
