Ok let me confirm my steps:
1) New project (normal template)
2) Insert Audio track
3) Right click in pro channel > insert module> fx chain
4) Right click in fx chain window and select guitar rig from audio fx - Guitar Rig 5 1 appears in synth rack.
5) Right click on track 1 and select clone track (press ok and leave settings at default)
6) The cloned track (2) fx-chain window reads 2-guitar rig 5
7) Right click - remove module from cloned track - synth rack empties
8) Right click - remove module from original track.
No crash.
Have tried this with both dual monitor and single and with patch loaded/not loaded in GR5.
Is there anything i am doing wrong/differently to you?
