Question - IDE IDE crashing a lot since last update

Hi all

I've just updated the IDE to 2.2.4.464 and I've noticed that it's crashing a lot. About 5 times in the last 30 mins or so. Sometimes it crashes when I'm doing something, like applying tiles to a room, other times it'll crash just while I'm sat here watching telly.

Any one else seeing it? It's making it hard to do anything really.

What kind of crash? Does it force close? Or is it a message saying "GameMaker Studio has become unstable"? Do you get a crash report dialogue if it's a hard crash? Although, really, this is besides the point and more for my curiosity as I've found it to be very stable on my machine... you should really file a bug and supply the ui.log from the %programdata% folder as that'll tell the devs what's really happening.

As Nocturne already said, you should check ui.log for the last error listed there. If it happens to be the one in the article or the one below, you should apply the patch.
Code: 
IDE Exception: OpenTK.Graphics.GraphicsContextException: Failed to make context XXXXXX current
