FM 8.0p277 crashes when pasting DITA xref?

Question

For FM8p277, DITA.

FrameMaker hard-crashes (a.k.a. "bombs out") if I try to copy-and-paste a DITA 
xref tag and its contents into another location in the XML topic file.

Has anyone else seen this?

I have a couple of crash logs I can file as a bug, but before I do I thought I'd see if this was a known problem...

Cheers, thanks, & hope this helps,
Riley

Scott:This once again seems to be one of the myriad fleeting idiosyncrasies I encounter on a ongoing basis in the FM8 DITA editing environment.Later, in a different file, I saved the file, held my breath, and tried copying an xref -- that time it worked. But in another file "some thing" makes the same operation impossible.This despite the fact that I constantly make sure that I'm not adding extraneous "fidgets" in any of my DITA files, along with the now-reflexive use of ESC v d to ensure valid file structure. Sigh...Long story shorter, I'm just adding this curio to my growing list of unsolved mysteries for FM8 DITA...Cheers, thanks, & have a great weekend,Riley
