My guess on this is that it is a basic field issue. One of the most frequent crashes I get is if in testing I put some data in the msg box. If the data is unusually large, everything jams. Only a force-quit gets you out of that.
I wonder if when we have native field objects - that this might be the real long term solution - though I don't know what the idea with regard that is for fields on desktop - but certainly leaning on the OS to handle stuff like that without the performance issues for large amounts of data could be the "fix" that we need / is planned?
