SSMS 18.2 crash on Extended Events properties form

Opening a "New session…." (not the wizard) of extended events (or a previously existing one) and browsing the pages (Events, Data Storage, Advanced) hangs the windows and/or directly crashes/terminates SSMS with no error message, specially on the Events page.

Application logs shows the crash as an unhandled exception:

This does not happen on 17.9.1 with same PC against same 2016 database.
I don't know if happens on all 18.x or just 18.2.

Thanks,
Jordi

    removed all versions and reinstalled several times. Returning to v17.9.1 fixed the problem.

    I can confirm that i have the same issue in SSMS 18.2 on windows 2012 R2....

    I can open the Extended events Properties GUI and get the general page to display properly same with Data Storage page, but when selecting one of other two page (events or Advanced) the GUI is "stuck" and the title changes to "Sessions Properties (Not Responding)"

    Me too, same issue only with windows 10 1903 french(server, english no issue)
    Do you have news ?

  • Jonathan Adamit commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Happens to me on 18.1 and 18.2. Clicking the Events tab hangs ssms. Sometimes, after waiting for a long time - it would overcome and finally present the screen.

    Agree with Jordi. This problem started for (me too) only after I started using 18.X. unable to load the Advanced properties / Events tab in the Extended Events Properties.
