Hi Curry Thanks. It had occurred to me that it could be the SE bling that was causing the crashes. So I had switched off almost all of the bling. The crashes on clicking within the text field stopped after that - only a day or so now, but I haven't seen that kind of crash since I switched off most of the bling.
However, yesterday I went to click "File/Save" on the IDE's main menu, and the IDE crashed (wiping out the work I was just trying to save). So I'm not sure if this is the same problem or a different one. If it had been the File menu of the SE itself, I might be inclined to think it was the same bug. But given it was the main File menu, I'm less inclined. I am wondering what is unique about my situation that LC is so flaky on Windows. No other app I run crashes like this. I honestly don't believe anyone who was new to LC would continue to use the tool if it crashed the way it crashes on me. If I don't get any more random crashes for a few days I plan to re-enable the bling and see if they return. I've switched off Geoff's Navigator too. So now I'm running with just a standard install. If the random crashes return then I'll create a new user and install a later version under that username. I've checked and it's not an out-of-memory situation (the machine has 8gb and only 75% of that is in use).
