    • Type: Bug
    • Resolution: Duplicate
    • Priority: High
    • None
    • Affects Version/s: 2.0.12-beta-1, 2.3.1.0
    • Component/s: Beta
    • Environment:

      Windows 10 64 bit, 16gb ram

    • Severity 1 - Critical

      Steps to reproduce:

      Create new git project from local directory with a folder in it (don't commit)

      Switch to tree view

      Right click unstaged folder and click "Show in Explorer"

      Make sure to save your work, I haven't been able to stop new explorer windows opening before the OS becomes unresponsive and eventually crashes.
