This is definitely an issue where the formatting of the text is coming into play. I submitted a bug report 18343. I attached a sample stack. I'd be interested if this is happening under 8.1 RC2. They may have fixed this and I don't know it yet. I'd also be interested if this is happening with Windows 8.0.1, but I have a real job here and have spent a LOT of time chasing this one.
