Hi Steffan, I've not been able to reproduce this crash yet, as such,
here's a lot of questions.

Does it require the compilation to be happening in the task window or is
it all the time?
Does it need to be the task window, or any window?
Were you in fullscreen, windowed mode, or does it happen in both?
Which wimp mode are you in, does it happen in other colour depths or
resolutions?
If you're in windowed mode were you using 'Follow Host Mouse', or the
capture mode when that is turned off?

I can look into that

For the last couple of years the recompiler has supported all the ARM CPU
models. There no speed benefit for StrongARM as we emulate them in the
same way, so we stick to ARM610 as this is compatible with all versions of
RISC OS from 3.5 onwards.

This has actually changed from 0.8.15 where we did capture the mouse in
the error box, but as I was changing the code for Qt I couldn't make up my
mind if this was the correct behaviour. There's not really a good option
here :(
