Digital editions on Win crashes when attempting to quickly highlight text in a book after DE startup

[#1]

Hi, has anyone else encounterd the problem where DE editions hangs (is unresponsive) for a few seconds then crashes (closes spontaneously) when trying to highlight text?

This occurs mostly when attempting it immeditely after I open a file in DE. If I wait a minute or so it is less likely.

This occurs with the "Getting Started with Adobe Digital Editions 4.5" epub file.

EDIT: I have done some more testing. This doesn't occur if I bring up the right click menu showing highlight, then close it! e.g. the second time I bring up the right click menu I can select highlight and it works OK.

Attached: video showing the issue

Thanks, Robert
