I've done similar things in the past and never got a crash. (even with build .48)

So I think we need to see if we can narrow it down a little bit.

Does it happen with all VSTi plugins? My songs only use Xlutop Chainer, which could be why I don't have this problem.

Does it also happens if there's a VST effect on the chain with normal sample based sounds?

I can confirm that doing similar things as opposed to exactly the same thing won't make OpenMPT crash. Try it without any songs open.

It happens with all I've tried. (farbrausch V2, tb peach, tb toad, tb monomoachine, tb triforce, cheeze machine)

I don't think it matters, but I haven't tried it so I wouldn't know.

If by that you mean applying an effect to a channel, then no.

älskling should be banned for trying set bug reproducers into infinite loop. Fortunately(?) I avoided that and can confirm the bug.

There also appeared to be rather significant memory leak in the treeview which is there already in 1.16. One can easily end up spending hundreds of MBs simply by opening sufficiently many mods for the instrument library view.

You were sly to avoid the infinite loop. Perhaps next time... Mwahahahaha!

Oh, and the bug is fixed with .51, thank you for a job well done!
