EPiServer CMO crashes when saving a test

EPiServer CMO crashes when I'm saving a test. Here is a little snippet:

[SerializationException: Type 'EPiServer.Cmo.UI.Units.PageNotification' in Assembly 'EPiServer.Cmo.UI, Version=7.6.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=8fe83dea738b45b7' is not marked as serializable.]

Here is the full message:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Unable to serialize the session state. In 'StateServer' and 'SQLServer' mode, ASP.NET will serialize the session state objects, and as a result non-serializable objects or MarshalByRef objects are not permitted. The same restriction applies if similar serialization is done by the custom session state store in 'Custom' mode.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Is there any fix for this?

It looks like your website is running with StateServer, SQLServer or Custom session state mode.

The easiest workaround would be using In-Proc session state mode, if it is possible in your case:

<configuration>
  <system.web>
    <sessionState mode="InProc " />
  </system.web>
</configuration>

I have filed a bug.
