Redmine

I just installed the latest version of redmine(2.5.2), however whenever I try to view the issues tab or any ticket I have created I get the following error:

NoMethodError (undefined method `empty?' for #<ActiveRecord::AttributeMethods::Serialization::Attribute:0xb5a058d8>):
app/controllers/issues_controller.rb:357:in `retrieve_previous_and_next_issue_ids'
app/controllers/issues_controller.rb:127:in `block (2 levels) in show'
app/controllers/issues_controller.rb:125:in `show'

The issue seems to be with this line that it is referencing in both instances:

sort_init(@query.sort_criteria.empty? ? [['id', 'desc']] : @query.sort_criteria)

I find it strange to have any issue when this is a fresh install. Can anyone help?

Thanks.
