Vista? Seriously? 32- or 64-bit?

Granted I'm on xp rather than Vista, but I can't replicate your crash
problem here. I've run through this several times now, and each time
it's worked as expected.

Why are you clicking the orange button? If you look at the tooltip,
you'll see that it's for moving to the next instruction. You've
already hit a runtime error, so there is no "next" instruction to move
to - you're not in normal run mode any more.

There's a green triangle at the right of that toolbar. Clicking that
instead of the orange button brings me back out of debug mode into
edit mode.

But at any rate, that's not an excuse for crashing. The IDE shouldn't
crash. Period. Jacque's right - if you've got a repeatable recipe,
send it off to the rev team to fix.
