bug / feature-request: instead of "Unhandled Exception" give actual exception's name in ERA Viewer

We're getting lots of "Unhandled Exceptions" in ERA, but there's no such exception. I don't see any reason why Garmin would intentionally hide the real exception form the developers (especially that the documentation mentions some possible exceptions)

My problem is with Properties.setValue. I am pretty sure it's not any of these, or at least it shouldn't be:

    I hate to state the obvious, but "Unhandled Exception" means that an exception was thrown which the application did not catch (i.e. the application did not "handle" the exception). It is simply a description of the error condition that caused your application to terminate (similar to "Out of Memory" or "Invalid Value").

    It is clearly not meant to imply that there is an exception that's literally named "Unhandled Exception" or "UnhandledException", as you are suggesting with "there's no such exception".

    In other words, an "unhandled exception" isn't a *kind* of exception (akin to StorageFullException, for example), it's just an exception that wasn't handled.

    That doesn't really take away from your feature request, but I thought it was a strange choice of words.
