CVI 2017 (but not CVI 2015) crashes if you try to convert a .uir containing an ActiveX control to .tui format.

I didn't see this one on the list of 'known issues'. To recreate the minimal case to see the issue:

1. Create a new .uir file.

2. Add an ActiveX control (I used Microsoft Web Browser).

3. Attempt to convert to text by selection Options ->  Save in text format...

4. Complete the save dialogue.

5. CVI crashes with the message "Labwindows/CVI has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program."

The crash also occurs on save when the 'auto-save to .tui' option is turned on.

The issue doesn't seem to be present in CVI 2015. I haven't tried any other versions.

This issue appears to occur on both Win7 and Win10.

Just noticed this bug has been reported already. Don't know if there's a solution yet, though.
