Problem summary:
Modo crashes on launch when a specific configuration is loaded with a Preset Browser window open.
Customer reported version:
modo.12.2v1
Customer reported platform:
windows10
Steps to reproduce:
1) In Modo, create a 3D Window [Layout > Windows > Tabbed 3d]
2) Remove/Delete or replace all available tabs in the 3D window with Preset Browser tabs [Data Lists > Preset Browser]
3) Leaving the window open, close Modo to have the configuration file saved.
4) Locate the config file and open it in a text editor.
- The default location in Windows is: C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Luxology\MODOXX.X.CFG
5) Modify the config file by locating the Preset Browser and replace the guts (without changing the id's of elements) with the following code:
<hash type="presetbrowserview" key="edit.81203893719:tabpreset" val="unregistered">
<atom type="Hash">70529893721:pbview</atom>
<atom type="OverrideDefaultBasePaths">Materials_Library</atom>

<atom type="MinHeader">1</atom>
<atom type="QuadLock">0</atom>
<atom type="ViewportTitle">Title 1</atom>
<atom type="ViewportClass">vpembedded</atom>
</hash>
6) Save the config file and launch Modo.
Workaround:
The current workaround is to have the 3D Window closed when exiting Modo, and then re-opening the 3D window after Modo is launched.
Reproduced by support in:
Modo 12.2v1 - Windows 10
Unable to reproduce bug in:
Modo 12.1v2 - Windows 10
Earliest version tested:
Modo 12.1v2 - This issue no longer appears in this version and has regressed
Expected behavior:
Modo should launch without crashing, and on the instance is does launch, the user should be able to click the Preset Browser tabs without crashing.
Actual behavior:
Modo will either crash when launching with the configuration file, or if it launches without crashing, will crash after selecting a Preset Browser tab in the 3D Window.
