New way to crash the client after update

[Microwave]

Just had an old friend who had not played in a while log in and crashed a few times and I had him explain what was going on and he explained what he was doing then I checked to see if it was just him or if it's repeatable and confirmed it to be an issue with the client after the update, or at least I think.

When you open up the chat window after pressing spacebar, if you hit spacebar again then press the left arrow the client will freeze then crash to the desktop. I'm not really sure why its happening or if it's unique to this patch or happened on previous patches but it's happening now. Rather easy to avoid normally but nevertheless a fatal bug worth reporting about.

It's probably from the new font support. You can revert to the old font rendering style on the third page of the launcher's options until we fix this issue.

I think I have this fixed on my local client. Thanks for the report, a new DLL with this fix will hopefully be up by tomorrow.

Just mentioning I had a friend also experiencing this crash. Thank you for the quick fix Ender!

A new DLL with the fix for this and the IME crash was just put on the launcher.
