Premiere 25 crashes when closing an automatically started panel

Hi

I'm developing a hidden panel in Premiere, and I need it to be launched automatically when Premiere starts.

So I added this to my manifest.xml:

<StartOn>
  <Event>com.adobe.csxs.events.ApplicationInitialized</Event>
</StartOn>

 

 This works fine,  the panel is started automatically, but when I open it and then close it, it closes Premiere too.

By the way, I don't have this behavior in Premiere 24. Any ideas ? Thanks

If you'd like your panel to not crash on exit, I'd recommend setting breakpoints in your panel's shutdown code, to find out which specific call is causing the problem.

Does PPro crash? Close silently?

If it opens automatically, how/why are you opening it again?

It closes silently, asking if I want to save my projects. 

I uninstalled/reinstalled Premiere, it worked fine for a while, then started up again.

 

But I made the panel inivisble using  

<AutoVisible>false</AutoVisible>

in the manifest.

 

Now I don't have the problem since the panel cannot be opened, so it cannot be exited

UPDATE: I do not have this problem in version 25.0 and 25.1, only in version 25.2

And it seems to be Windows only, I don't reproduce the problem on Mac
