Expected behavior Refresh should complete and VB6 should remain open afterwards.

Additional context The VB6 project I am working on is quite large (but not huge). This happens every time and so I am currently unable to use Rubberduck with it. Other smaller projects work ok for me with Rubberduck.

same here when it comes to resolving references ... crashes ide its because of 3rd party dlls and ocxs i guess ... until this resolve we cant use rubberduck in vb6 enviornment

[surfer-silver]

found that cause in my case. if codejock controls used then it crashes vb6 ide .... strange other than its running smooth on complex projects smoothly. most probably this could be the main reason of crashing using such OCX which is not compatible with rubberduck-vba

[Jimbo99]

My project that crashes VB6 IDE with RubberDuck also contains CodeJock controls.
