CDR X7.4 64bit Win7 - adding a drop shadow to an object with a mesh fill gives me an instant crash. Does this happen for anyone else?
I've attached an event log file with the three events that relate to one of these crashes in case that can help any Corel people who are looking.

Thanks for looking Chris and Harry.
I've attached a CDR file with just one mesh-filled object. This will crash X7.4 for me every time if I try to add a drop-shadow. Can you give it a go and see if it works for you.

REcreated that shape in X7U4 and I cant make it crash when applying a Drop Shadow
Are you able to recreate the conditions that will initiate the crash when starting from fresh?
It's not that big a problem, but I've been looking at mesh fills a bit more closely and it looks like there's some problems there.
In trying to recreate the very simple shape I imported from the AI file I made a grey rectangle and rounded the corners until they met at the top and bottom, applied a mesh fill and dropped white onto the central node - ugh! what happened there.
Did the same again, but converted the object to curves before applying the mesh fill. Better, but there's still problems with a light vertical line down the middle of the object.
All other settings on the mesh fill were the defaults. Surely there's a problem here.

This is what I got from rectangle and 2x2 mesh.
