Description

I've tried to open Thread Time Stacks section on collected .etl file and got crash.
Visual Studio shows System.StackOverflowException

I'm not sure how to send files. I would prefer not to publish files but send them directly to dev team. Could you advise?

Research direction

Start with the Thread Time Stacks section that crashes while opening the collected ETL file. Obtain the ETL privately from the reporter or reproduce the failure with an equivalent file, then trace the section's stack-overflow path. Done means the file opens without System.StackOverflowException and the regression is covered by an appropriate test if one exists.
