 * When tracking the source position of attributes, if source attribute name was mix-cased but the parser was
   lower-case normalizing attribute names, the source position for that attribute was not tracked
   correctly. [2067](https://github.com/jhy/jsoup/issues/2067)
+* When tracking the source position of a body fragment parse, a null pointer exception was
+  thrown. [2068](https://github.com/jhy/jsoup/issues/2068)
