since beta 4 (with the minor exception of 1.08.00 when I could not find the maps to edit) when I enter the cartography table, load a map, create the thumbnail or edit the map & save it, then exit the cartography table, the re-enter the cartography table it invariably crashes to desktop on all the computers that elemental is installed on.
I have noticed a similar effect with the other modding tools that are included also.
