Hello RenovatioNova, Following the steps provided, I was unable to reproduce this issue on our end. Steps taken: 1. Opened First person project 2. Created a new actor blueprint 3. Added a new variable (boolean, did not change the default name) 4. Right clicked the variable with in the my blueprints panel (not in the graph) 5. Chose Find References 6. In the Find Results tab, I unchecked the “Find In Current Blueprint Only” 7. Clicked within the text field in the Find Results tab 8. Pressed Enter 9. No crash I have a few questions for you that will help narrow down what issue it is that you are experiencing. Quick questions: 1. Can you reproduce this issue in a clean project? 2. If so, could you provide a detailed list of steps (including any small steps that may have been missed in your original post) so as to reproduce this issue on our end? 3. Could you provide screen shots of any blueprints/settings that may be involved with this issue? 4. Could you provide the complete callstack (including machine ID)? ---

This is still broken in 4.25, about 90% of the time I do a “Find all references” and use the binoculars to search outside the current function, closing this will Freeze the editor, I have to ALT+F4 it. **It is still broken and a serious issue.** ---

How is there still no fix to this? I now have this problem no matter what I do. I just can no longer use the binoculars button functionality. 100% crash everytime for me. No way to troubleshoot the error.
