AC13 crash caused by complex profile

hello,

we can crash ArchiCAD13 reliably and repeatedly when doing the following:

1. model a concrete facade panel which is corrugated on one side, based on 50mm arcs;
2. create the rest of the panel using the line tool;
3. using the magic wand (default settings) we fill the surface;
4. apply to a wall in 3d window then create an elevation looking at the corrugated surface;
5. open the elevation and switch the following off and on:
model display > uncut elements > fill uncut surfaces with... cycle through all settings (nothing, uniform... etc.) and after changing open elevation;

the crash reliably happens when we get to 'own material colors (shaded)'

can someone please try if the same happens for them?

we seem to be able to make it more reliable when adjusting the following:

options > magic wand settings > segments along arcs... reduce to something like 14

we wonder if this is a bug or expected behaviour - should the default setting be adjusted to a value which AC can actually handle?

ds.
