but always throw the following error:
and then the studio stops working.
Has anyone idea what is causing this behavior?
This issue was addressed in SSMS 16.3 (August 2016) Release. Please, upgrade your SSMS to the latest version of SSMS, available at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt588477.aspx, if you still observe this issue. Alternatively, make sure you are not using the Classic Windows theme or a high-contrast theme.
