Windows 7 Home Premium. 64-bit. I have the dynaTrace AJAX tool installed, though disabled, Java installed but disabled, the Microsoft Messenger Companion installed but disabled, and the Adobe Reader and Flash plug-ins installed and enabled.

I reset all IE settings to default, as well.

I am running in a VirtualBox virtual machine, though I've reproduced this on non-virtual machines, as well.

What else is useful?

It's too weird. I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bit version, I've tried everything I could imagine about these textboxes, but still no crush.

Two of my friends tried on Windows 8.1 Pro x64, still no crush.

Yeah, it's like the crash is depending on something other than Windows version or IE version, but I don't have any idea what.

One commonality seemed to be Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, but I see someone else was using Windows 8 and reproduced it. Hmm…
