Command-line Window crashing Vim after v8.0.0159

[Matthew Desjardins]

After 8.0.159, opening the command-line window causes my Vim to crash. I've tried with using "-N -u NONE -U NONE", with both Windows 7 and Windows 10 Vim and Gvim, as well as with various Cygwin-compiled Vims, all of which crash when using the command-line window. Can someone help?

[Matthew Desjardins]

With a littler more background on reproducing, I've only gotten crashes to occur after opening the command-line window with <c-f> on a command line that already has text. The resulting window won't actually have that text on the current line as it should, and attempting to insert text from there will then cause a crash.

I can't reproduce it so far. Perhaps you have a setting that
triggers it. Can you try to see if it happens with: vim -u NONE?
It it does not happen with vim -u NONE, can you narrow down
your setting in .vimrc that triggers the bug?

It does occur with vim -u NONE (as in OP)

Try 8.0.0160.

No difference in 8.0.0160 (and 170).

Hmm, what exactly do you type?
Does it still happen without -N? If not, try renaming your .viminfo
file, maybe it contains something harmful.

Typing anything did it, and it made no difference with or without -N and with or without a .viminfo present. However I could only reproduce this on Windows machines.

All that being said, I no longer experience this after 8.0.0172
