Hey Adam.
Actually I think you may be onto something here. I just did a couple of tests with lenses active and I can emulate the crash you are seeing by attempting to create a new empty project with an active lense that uses an undocked populated multidock (in my case lyric view on a second monitor). Sonar crashes immediately. I have to load a project that contains data for the multidock and turn off the lense before I can create an empty project.
I can't yet pin down the exact cause as other lenses are not problematic, but hopefully others will try and we can isolate the issue. Are you by any chance using 2 monitors, and is the multidock situated on the second monitor when your lense is loaded?
