After I have entered the artist and album in the search mask, the list of results appears. As soon as I move the mouse over the entries to select them, the program crashes without any errors or anything else. Strangely, this only happens with one album and not with every one...

This is the corresponding content where the crash occurs:

What exactly do you enter as ARTIST and ALBUM in the search mask?  
(Maybe a screenshot helps).

If I try to reproduce the crash with your informations, I get this:  
 ![MBResultSelection](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/3X/7/2/72da8059382b7d36316c97dfe67bdb1d5e5fa994.gif)  
Where exactly does it crash on your device?

Could you try it with [Mp3tag v3.28c](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/mp3tag-development-build-status/455)?

I can't see any cover art thumbnails in your screenshot (first column).  
Are they not displayed? Does it crash before the thumbnails are loaded?

Content of search fields: "Turn Loose The Swans" "My Dying Bride" no strange characters

Does it crash for you at every search result or just on some like for @mad3all?

Can you both please tell us your  
a) Specific Windows Version?  
b) Mp3tag (32bit/64bit/Portable)?

It happens in a specific directory. Tried another directory and that worked fine.

Its windows 11 pro. 64bit version.  
It may have to do with the directory depth of this specific folder. Let me test that for you.

Other albums in the same directory don't give me issues. So it is a specific album.

Could you please tell us the ARTIST and ALBUM?  
The more example we can try, the better the chance to find any reason for this behaviour.

When you do a search in music brainz for stereo sushi the app crashes. Has nothing to do with directories or something.

Strange thing, both searches works for me on Windows 10 22H2 (Build 19045.5487) 64bit.  
But I'm testing on 32bit Mp3tag v3.28c.

I will try it with the 64bit version in a few moments.

_Some minutes later:_  
64bit Mp3tag v3.28c works for me too, with both ALBUMS.  
With and without ARTIST, no crash.

I'm out of ideas for the moment, maybe others can see possible reasons?
