After Effects Suddenly Quits when manually typing numbers into current-time display box

After Effects Suddenly Quits when manually typing numbers into current-time display box. This bug has been plaguing me for over a year now on multiple different computers (all macs), multiple updates of After Effects. When I enter manual timecode into the current-time display box in the upper left hand corner of the timeline, After Effects will often suddenly quit. This happens very regularly. It happens to me on macs I've used at offices. It happens on my old computer, it happens on my laptop, I just bought a new computer and installed a fresh version of the latest program and it just happened twice in the last hour. This needs to be fixed!! Attaching screenshot of the error message.

    Hi Andy,

    Thank you for reporting this bug. Are you still experiencing it in the latest version of After Effects ( 17.7 )? If so, would you be able to get a screen recording of it in action?

    We are aware of a similar crash which was an issue in previous versions, but it was fixed in AE 17.1 so I am surprised to see it happening for you in version 17.5.1. There is a possibility that OS changes may have caused it to rear its head again.

    Thanks for any additional information,
    - John, After Effects Engineering Team
