When I type, ZKL crashes

someone else posted same thing a few days ago http://zero-k.info/Forum/Thread/19775

Resign lobsters, you are boiled!

Well bug is back :(

Must definitly be something with another program on my computer making ZKL crash.

I run ZKL along steam and same bug occurs.

Here is the error log (I deleted identical entries under same time stamp).

Strange thing.

I didn't have much interesting to say in lobby but still ... ;)

Latest lobby update seems to have fixed it.

The operative keyword here is seems. I was advised to restart lobby after a desynced game and oh dear, first character in chat -> crash. So it is back (or was an update rolled back that I am not aware of?)

I am willing to give it a go. I'll install visual studio.

Quick tutorial with images (you can skip Step 1 since you've already done it)

After that, ZKL will appear (check your system tray if it's not in the taskbar, though I'm sure you've seen this already). Start typing and see what errors VS coughs up.

(Add me on Skype at metalphoenix -at- hotmail dot com if you need live instructions)

Ok I did everything as you directed me.

This is the error spawned when writing in chatbar:
