You may wish to ask Astoria about this to see if they can reproduce the issue in their environment (we do not test the Astoria software here). However, I will try to reproduce this crash without Astoria installed as well.

Are you running McAfee anti-virus software on this computer? There is a known conflict with that software and we have released a hotfix for a file called XFRunner.dll that seems to have addressed the issue for a number of our clients. Even if you are not running McAfee installing the hotfix is something to try as it may resolve this issue for you. http://forums.xmetal.com/index.php/topic,915.0.html The XFRunner.dll is the main part of our code that drives some of our dialogs (and the dialog in question is one of these).

If you select (menu option) Insert > Figure with Title, the “Insert Image” dialog is displayed and at that point you can set the “Text wrapping” option (in the dialog) to “break” (resulting in @placement being set to “break” in the XML source). Or is that what you want to avoid having to do when you say “manually set”?
