NVDA freezes when an exception is thrown in a .NET program in Visual studio
Steps to reproduce:
Open Visual studio IDE. Write a C# program with an unhandled exception and run it in debug mode.
Actual behavior:
Visual studio switches to the editor window and Nvda freezes for nearly a minute.
Expected behavior:
NVDA should immediately start reading the current line in the editor and then normally react on commands.
