BUG: 4.0d B3: Crash on dragging command icon to panel area

WOW - The first Logos4 crash I've have for weeks I think.

Sorry, logging was not enabled, so crash log only. So far, a few attempts to do what I think I was doing the first time has not repeated the crash.

I had an Infomation Panel open on the right 1/4 of my screen, and no other open panels or resources. I was dragging my Command Icon for "Show Text Comparison" into the open and empty area in the left 3/4. On releasing the command, with the entire left 3/4 shaded light blue (so ready to fill whole area), I got the crash.

Yellow is the Command Icon ("Show Text Comparison") I was dragging into the open zone. The Red Arrow is about where my mouse was when I took this screen capture.

On repeating this operation a few times, it has worked correctly, and filled the light-blue zone with an operational panel for text-compair.

This would not cause a crash in my system either. Anything else to try?

I had just started Logos4, so its possible some of the "background" processing and update checks was still running.

As soon as the UI was enabled, I closed every open panel except Information, which I dragged into the right 1/4 or so, leaving everything else empty.

I then started to type "na26,na27,nasb" into the command box but remembered it was in the wrong place, so hit escape after the first part: "na26," or so.

I then dragged the "Text Comparison" Icon into the space, to do what I intended all along. It was then it crashed with the log per my first post.

This is as exact as I can remember what was done to get the crash. I mostly-never run with logging on as it slows my system too much, and for the most part is a waste of time and speed for no gain.

EDIT: Its also running with Program Scaling = 140%, as I find it more relaxing to read for much of the time. I only set it to 100% at times if I need lots of different panels open. Mostly I run with the 3/4 and 1/4 as in the graphic, with Information or maybe dictionaries on the right. Simple, "clean" and fast.

We'll review the crash log, thanks.
