That will make a aka.ms link, and then you can send that aka.ms link to us. 😄

I can't reproduce this in v0.11, and it looks like it might have been a /dupe of #4613.

@DHowett I have looked at the alleged duplicate and must say that my report is not a duplicate in my view.

I can't reproduce this in v0.11

To see the error from its own perspective, you need to train your timing.

#4613 fixed 13 different places where we would crash during the startup and shutdown of individual terminals. It is very likely, but not 100% certain, that it fixed this issue. 😄
