I found this issue today on my laptop (Windows 10 64-bit Simplified Chinese Edition), and reproduced it in a clean virtual machine (same OS) with a clean installation of TC. Haven't met it before.
1. Prepare a file in the left panel, say foo.txt, and paste it into the right panel.
2. Switch back to the left panel, press Ctrl+C to copy the same foo.txt, Tab to the right panel, and press Ctrl+V. A dialog box will pop up, asking for confirmation.
3. Press Esc quickly and repeatedly to cancel the dialog box. After the dialog box has been canceled, TC may crash. (Before the crash, a small dialog box appears and disappears immediately.)
4. If the crash doesn't happen, go to step 2 and try again. Don't skip the copy operation.
In my test, a crash would happen in less than 10 attempts.

This is a known bug in Windows itself. The crash happens outside of my code, there is no way for me to prevent it.

Oh I see, it does feel like an OLE problem. Thanks for your reply.
