Hi,

Originally I thought my VM is crashing because of FT, so I applied some fix from FogBugz (that is now part of Pharo 6), but that didn't help.

So I disabled FT in settings and changed fonts to non-FT ones; didn't help.
So I completely removed FT2Plugin.dll (now settings just states that FT fonts are not available), but that didn't help either.

And obviously there is no crash.dmp whatsoever (this is latest Windows VM).

This crash is extremely frustrating because the crash happens _during saving_, which means I am losing code all the time and have to constantly recover them, which really makes my blood boil.

Without crash dump I don't even know where and how to start investigating. Windows kindly opens Visual Studio when Pharo crashes, but all it shows to me is assembly, which is not very useful to me. I can somewhat orient myself in the C code of the VM (as I've alredy fixed some other issues in the VM), but here I am lost.

So my question I guess is:
How can we fix this? How can I help fix this? Because I've lost countless days of time and energy on this f***ing problem...
