NVDA crashes when Japanese Microsoft Office IME 2010 (comes with Microsoft Office 2010) is default input language.

The procedure to reproduce is as follows:

• Windows 7 64bit Ultimate (English interface)
• US keyboard
• NVDA snapshot main 5932 installed
• Open 'control panel' and change the setting:
  1. Choose: Change keyboard or other input methods
  2. Go to tab: Keyboards and language
  3. Choose: Change keyboards
  4. Go to tab: General
  5. Choose: Default input language
  6. Choose: Japanese (Japan) - Microsoft Office IME 2010
• Launch installed NVDA (with English interface)
• Type Windows-key, 'notepad', Enter to launch notepad.
• Type 'a'.
• Type Alt+Backquote three times to confirm the status is announced as 'IME opened'.
• Type Alt-F4.

The notepad opens 'save as' dialog and NVDA (and Windows Explorer) crashes.

This issue is reported since last year with NVDA Japanese version. We now found the exact way of reproduction.
It depends on the setting of default input method.
