Research direction
Reproduce the crash in Files 4.2.9.0 by switching Windows to Serbian or Russian and choosing New → TXT file from a directory context menu. Start with the attached debug.log, then trace the context-menu TXT-file creation path; done means the file is created without crashing in non-English languages while English behavior still works.
