How to reproduce the issue
- I open the POB normally. It doesn't crash and doesn't issue any warnings.
- If I place the mouse over a passive of some ascendancy and stay on it for a few seconds, the POB crashes completely and freezes the screen. This has happened more often with the new passives from the Affliction ascendancies (Wildwood Ascendancies).
The screen freezes for a few seconds and then the POB closes automatically and everything returns to normal. This happens with no other programs open, just the POB on its own. - As I said, if you use the POB normally, and fiddle with all the other aspects, it doesn't freeze, but if you leave the mouse resting on any ascendancy passive, it freezes the screen.
- And after the freeze it doesn't issue any warning about what happened, it simply closes the POB.

Research direction
No source file, test, or code entry point is named; the report only links CHANGELOG.md. First reproduce the freeze on Windows 11 with the listed NVIDIA and Intel graphics hardware by hovering over an ascendancy passive, then confirm the application remains usable and does not close without a warning.
