Hello ,

I have a few questions for you that will help narrow down what issue it is that you are experiencing.

Quick questions:

  1. Can you reproduce this issue in a clean project?
  2. If so, could you provide a detailed set of steps to reproduce this on our end?
  3. Could you provide screen shots of your blueprints and your designer tab?

I have read in a few places where people had this issue. It seems the main reason for a crash result is trying to paste an element into another element that - does not - support child elements. For example: pasting something into an image element.

A button can only have a single child. Copy and pasting a button onto a button (by ctrl+c and ctrl+v while keeping the button selected) is infact an invalid action. Although the crash itself might just be a unescaped error.

Edit: You can actually nest buttons (just buttons) but once you add a text element you are filling the buttons max children restriction and locking it from recieving any more children (another button).

Even if it is an invalid command - it should be met with an error message or just not letting you do it (like certain nodes not pasting in areas they cannot be used) - Not a full on engine crash.

I did not post my comment as an answer so I am presuming a moderator moved it. The crash is a “bug” of sorts, it is an unhandled exception by the editor (no, it is not your fault directly, that is why I did not put it as an answer, thus the down-vote kind of hurts). I was just explaining why and how it was happening.

To recap: The copy/pasting of an element into an element that causes an exception to the parent elements rules crashes the editor. That is not your fault directly, it is the editor not handling it properly via feedback (i.e. a prompt telling you that you cannot do that) and then escaping the attempt.

Upvoted to counter downvote. While this may not be an official fix, it is an answer as to what is happening so that it can be avoided.

Yeah, I don’t understand down-voting people who are trying to help.
