CC3 - Save corrupted? Crash upon edit entity properties

Hi everybody,
I've made quite a detailed map, but now every time I try to edit an entity's properties, it crashes to desktop.
I created a brand new map and edited an entity's properties and it worked fine.
I've also tried re-saving the map and restarting my computer.
Can anybody help, sorry?

Is this for any entity in the map, or is there a specific entity that crashes each time?
Can you share the .fcw with us?
Yeah sorry, here's the file.
It's editing any entity, using the edit entity properties tool (mpedit).
I've reinstalled the latest update (it was already up-to-date) and am downloading the normal installer now.
When I create a new map file, it works fine.
Hi Kit :)
The map opens with the MERGE layer active. If you pick another layer (STANDARD for example) the edit properties seems to work ok.
The MERGE layer is used by CC3 to control how effects are rendered, so probably best to leave it alone. Don't hide it though, as that can have some really strange effects.
Hey, thank you thank you thank you, you too!
(Should anything at all be on the MERGE layer? After a previous crash, CC3 dumped most of my entities on there... I've moved them off now and nothing seems to be affected)
That definitely should not have happened. The MERGE layer isn't a destination, or it shouldn't be a destination. If you end up like that again please can you let Tech Support know so we can work out what is going wrong and correct it?
Thanks.
Sure thing - it happened after a CTD and I didn't notice for a while. If it happens again I'll let you know.
