Do you want to break into the debugger?

Would be nice if this was fixed. I got bit by it again today.

In that case I agree. I usually do debug builds so didn't realize that.

This issue is reproducible only in the debug build as I know, so I suppose this should stay P4.

I encountered the same problem with 7u-dev code cloned yesterday. I encountered this using SwingSet2 and it occurred whenever pressing the tab key to move to various controls. Using the tab key to change focus is very important for users who are blind as this is the only way they can move from control to control. Due to this I think this should be at least P2 rather than a P4. I worked around the problem by replacing the DASSERT with: if (value == NULL) return NULL;

Reproducible with the latest 8 debug build.

Start Notepad application, input anything in input area by keyboard then hit the assert. This happened to all programs with input boxes in debug build.
