Summary:
A user can not use the filter [Filter and Order], on [My Submissions] tasks, even when a user has issues Pending.

Prerequisite:

1. A public WIKI page (Navigate to Product Menu > Site Administration > Build > Pages) should be created;
2. A WIKI's Widgets should be added in Wiki Page;
3. A non-admin user should be assigned to work on this Wiki.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Login as non-admin (who was associated on Wiki page);
2. Go to Site > Wiki Page;
3. Click to add a new page on "Add Child Page";
4. Write on Title: Teste001 and then [Submit for Publication];
5. Go to Control Panel > My Account > My Submissions;
6. Go to [Filter and Order] > choose any option (All, or Pending, or Completed, or Last Activity Date, or End Date);

Expected result:

A previous list should be filtered or ordered.

Actual result:
To the user, [My Submissions is temporarily unavailable.] is a message showed; to the system, a nullPointerException on BaseWorkflow is broken.

 

P.S.:

A stack trace is annexed: "2018_12_20 18_46_40 ERROR". Look for "at com.liferay.portal.workflow.web.internal.portlet.BaseWorkflowPortlet.doDispatch(BaseWorkflowPortlet.java:122)"
