P: Win7 Crashes instantly when extension uses script UI

Photoshop CC2015 on Win7 64bit crashes instantly when an extension runs a jsx to draw a window or palette using script UI. The same script works perfect when being run from ExtendScript instead of from the extension.

If I first run any script that draws a script UI window (either from ExtendScript or from File->Scripts) then the extension suddenly works without any crashes... until next time PS is restarted.

I have tried this on two different pc's with two different extensions, one being the default project generated by Extension Builder 3.

OK, I'm asking the engineers working on that area to take a look.

You can download an example extension here:

It's a new blank project from extension builder 3, modifled to use a dialog instead of an alert.

The ones we know of are not seeing a problem - so we need to know which extension panels are causing a problem for you.

As far as I can tell it's any script that opens a script UI window. Those will crash PS but only when called from an extension.

In my case, an script from my Panel "Brutus Symmetry", it works great with CC2014 but crashes when using CC2015.

What script or extension are you using that causes these crashes?
