TAB key CTD

As I was finishing up the first turn of Fall Weiss, pressing the TAB key resulted in a CTD.
I had used TAB perhaps a dozen times previously in the same turn with no problems.

Does it happens again?
If it will, please before starting the game again, copy the ConsleOut.txt file from the main game folder (it would be good to zip it first) and attache it to the post.

It seems that also we will need the savegame as there is nothing unusual in ConsleOut.txt file, please zip or rar it and attache to a post.
I'm wondering whether it is a repeatable CTD? I mean what happen after reloading the game from autosave?

Happened again on turn 1. I did, however load it from a previous save that I call Turn 0. This is a save that I make first thing when I get to the map so that I can start turn 1 over without having to go through the setup selections.
Same as before, Tab'd about a dozen times, then CTD.

Happened a third time. This time I had just saved prior to the CTD.
Reloaded: not repeatable!

Thanks. Such unrepeatable ones are the most difficult to catch. We will try to treat this bug as it deserves

Since my save games are too big to attach, let me describe a related incident.
Late in the game, pressing tab to review the Romanian troops, a Slav. troop was included that shortcut the list. So, just for fun, I deleted the Slav. unit and replaced it with a unit from yet another minor nation. Surprise, tab still behaved the same way. Finally, I deleted the unit and didn't replace it. Then tab CTD when it got to the hex it was formerly in. [X(]
Sure looks like some lists/indexes got corrupted to me... [:-]

Sorry the original chance is lost. [:(]
However I'll tab about in my new game to see if I can recreate.

ok..thanks for checking the save.
I've run some more turns w/o any problems so maybe some rare bug.

Yep,
This is the one which is unpossible to reproduce.
Reported very rarely.
In the meantime we have also polished this functionality so hopefully after the patch it happen no more.
