CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Selecting Artistic Media

Draw just crashed as I was selecting different artistic media for the background of an image.I had opened the file by double clicking it... it was just the start of a simple rollover which just contained text and a squiggle with an arrow property at one end of the squiggle.

The foreground and squiggle are in the foreground on a layer.  it has a linear gradient fill. going sideways.  The text is a custom true type font called "Comic Book Commando" which I haven't had any trouble with.

In a separate layer, I had a simple short horizontal line that I was trying out different artistic media with.  It's just a swipe that's pretty much horizontal.  I laid it down with the "Artistic Media" brush that I selected from the toolbar which I have parked at the left vertically.I had the horizontal line selected with the regular picker tool.  I have the artistic docker open on the right side beside the line of colours palette at the far right of the window.

I clicked on each artistic media types all the way down the list... and along the way I made 4 duplicates of the simple line and put them into separate layers that I then turned off the visibility and turned off the printing.

At the point Draw crashed, I had the simple line selected, and I clicked on the last of the paintbrush style artistic media from the docker (the ones with the paintbrush icon beside them)... crash.

The drawing is very simple.  Basically, I was just going through the different artistic media options.  I had a pdf open, a file explorer, and one IE browser window... none of these other programs were doing anything 'active' at the time.
