Does this only occur in one world? If so, please upload that world to http://dffd.bay12games.com/ [^] and link to it here.

Since you're on Windows, I assume you're using PeridexisErrant's LNP. Do you have the menu-mouse plugin enabled? It's been known to cause crashes in that screen.

There are multiple mouse plugins, and menu-mouse is known to be unstable and cause crashes in that exact screen. (It's also enabled in PeridexisErrant's pack - there's no such thing as "the" LNP, so it's helpful if you can specify which one you're using.) Can you run "enable" in the DFHack console and look for the line containing "menu-mouse"?

Given that there hasn't been any feedback on this, I'd say that the menu-mouse issue was a likely cause. Please reopen this issue if the problem persists, though.
