vuze crashes when donate popup appears

[ncs]

Hi!
I have the following problem. Whenever I start a new torrent and the donate popup window appears, the GUI of Vuze crashes. The user interface is totally unresponsive and frozen, but Vuze seems to work more or less correctly in the background. It is not possible to stop or exit Vuze properly, one must kill it with the taskmanager.

What happens if you hit the 'escape' key when it is in this state?

As i said, it is completely unresponsive. Alas, I cannot readily experiment with it, as the donate popup apears randomly and not that frequently.

The popup is actually a web-page rendered in Internet Explorer - perhaps you have an extension active in IE that for some reason is causing this? Might be worth checking that out and disabling all extensions if you find any.

My default browser is firefox. I do not use IE, nevertheless i checked, and there are no active extensions in it.
