问题
I had this problem in Windows 7, and now with a post-formatted and very clean C:\ disk with Windows 8.1 x64, I have it too.
When I am executing a Visual C++ application from within Visual Studio 2010 and I right-click to show the right-menu (for example to "Watch value" of a variable), Visual Studio comes unresponsive.
To make VS become responsive, I have to go to Task manager to Stop the application in question.
And the consequence of this and after I loose the flux of my debug session, because Stepping more through the flux causes the application to Stop.
I repeat that my Windows 8 installation is almost clean because the disk was formatted, and Visual Studio 2010 installation is almost clean having only Service Pack 1, but no extensions.
Please help.
UPDATE 1:
I think the crash happens only or happens more frequently on a delimited situation; the Debugger is paused and :
- I right-click on a variable name
OR
- after doing a Find in Files I Double-Click on a result line of the Find Results Window of a not yet open file
This makes me believe it has something to do with refreshing Intellisense.
UPDATE 2:
In reply to recent comments, I've been searching where VS 2010 put its own dump files and I could not find them. On the other hand I got this info from Windows Event Viewer:

and the Details tab contains this text:

UPDATE 3:
I've just repeatedly noticed that this issue only happens on projects with some complexity, not happening on very simple ones. Now, due to some evidence on projects that have dependency on outside libraries, I suspect the bug happens when the debugger is trying to get the data for the "Resolve Ambiguity" dialog.

One way to increase the likeliness of making happen the undesired behavior is to Right-click and do "Set Next Statement".
UPDATE 4:
Bug still present on Visual Studio 2015 Preview.
