I have the same problems as the user on the page SonarLint Binding Error since Version 2.8.0.214 - Project Count out of Range?.
On your Jira board I found the ticket https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SVS-123 that bug will be fixed in the version 2.8.1.
For that reason I´m interested on the information, when do you plan to release this version.
Otherwise is there a workaround? Is there a possibility to install an older version for example?
