 Import Sprite Bugs

I believe I have found a bug in GMS2 in regards to the import sprite button when creating a new sprite. I am unsure if there is a specific place to report bugs (Can't find one anywhere), so I thought I would post it here to see if anyone else has the same issue. If there is somewhere to report bugs directly to YoYoGames, could someone please link that?

It doesn't happen all the time, but sometimes when I click on the Import button, when creating a new sprite, the entire program crashes. There is no error message, and the program never responds again. Other times, the import button won't cause the program to crash, but it won't bring up the import file window either, nothing at all happens no matter how many times I click the import button.

As I said, this doesn't happen all the time and restarting the program ocassionally fixes it. It seems to be luck wether or not it will work each time.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, are there any settings which may fix it?

Okay, you can report a bug directly from the IDE... the Help menu should have the option. As for your issues:

This is a known issue and is related to the Windows Creator update as it only started happening after that. There has been some work done to the IDE to minimise this issue, but it's something that MS need to address as it's not just GMS that it's happening to.

This is something I've not seen mentoned anywhere before, so definitely file a bug report for it, please!

Ah yes, I didn't think of looking there! I instead went straight to the YoYoGames website! I'll be sure to report the second bug I am experiencing, hopefully Microsoft can address the issue soon!
