Corona always crashes if I merge or import anything while IR is running

[Monkeybrother]

Every time, without exceptions, corona/max crashes if I forget to turn off IR when importing or merging objects in max. I've gotten so used to it that haven't bothered to check if this is a known bug for everyone, or if it somehow is just me. I've had this in every version of Corona/Max I've used.
Is this a thing?

Thanks for reporting. We will check this.

I just tried both importing (stl) and merging (one object from another scene), and it did not crash for me.
Can you please provide exact reproduction steps?
-which version of Corona and 3ds Max are you using?
-are you running IR docked in viewport or floating?
-what exactly are you merging/importing?

Screenshots or a video recording could be also very helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Weird. It happens every time I add something "external", like importing or merging. It also happens when I reset Max while IR is open.

Happens/happened in Max 2014-2018 and Corona 1.5-1.7.
Floating IR.
I import finished .max files from our object library, as well as .FBX or sometimes .OBJ or 3D DWG. Often from a network location, since our library and project folders are on our network.

Reproduction steps: Have IR running, use max's import or merge, that's really it.

I'm not at work now and I don't know if Windows have a built in screen recorder?, but I'll see what I can do. I can take a screenshot of the crash screen, but it's just a popup. It's a "soft" crash, if that helps. I always get the the "do you want to save a recovery file etc" popup.

Ok, tried on my home computer, which obviously is a completely different system (home computer: windows 10/dual xeons, work computer: windows 7/single xeon) and got  the same thing.

Including two screenshots. The first is our maxstart.max, a clean project starter, where I tried to merge an object from my (very small) network. The second is a "real" scene where I tried to import an FBX from the local harddrive.

Well, sorry to waste everyone's time, including my own; I solved it. It turns out that Outliner (scene manager) is the culprit - when Outliner window is open and IR is running, max/corona crashes when importing/merging. I've always used Outliner, so it's always open and it didn't occur to me that it could be the cause (if it is?).

ok, but we will still try to see if there is something we can do to prevent the crash

Sounds good!
