Nothing should cause LC to crash, so that should be reported as a bug, if you
prefer not to or don't have enough time to report it just let me know and I
would be happy to.
By default the templateField doesn't have the text properties set for textFont
or textSize, however, I found that it can work if you set the font/size first,
as far as I can see, you only need to set the font/size once provided you don't
issue a reset command.
You could also use 'this card' or 'this stack', which doesn't crash LC if that
helps.
put measureText("testText”,this card) into theTextWidth
