Screenshots of crash/graphical issue, version and options menu
What are your system specifications and configuration?
Win 11 pro 26200.7922
How to reproduce the issue
While PoB window is active press shift+pause on keyboard.
This yields:
--- ERROR ---
Critical error at address 6A861B44h:
Access violation: attempted to read from address 00000028h
The error is not logged by Windows so I assume it's not that critical, but even if it's intended, the error leads to unsaved data loss.
PoB for PoE1 build code

Start by reproducing the crash on Windows 11 with the Path of Building window active, then investigate the handling of the Shift + Pause key combination. Done means the key combination no longer produces the reported access violation or causes unsaved build data to be lost.
