NT crashes when importing symbol list when symbols already exist in the list

[cunparis]

I import a symbol list into an existing instrument list and NT crashes every time. Here is the trace:

I'm pretty sure it's because the symbols I paste into the dialog box already exist in the list (not all of them but some of them) and that NT can't handle this. If I create a new list then it works fine.

Could you please provide a simple as possible scenario including all details/data needed to reproduce the issue? Thanks

This is weird, I reproduced it twice in a row earlier and now I went to try it again and it worked properly. The only difference is my watchlist, but unfortunately I didn't save the watchlist that was crashing it.

If it happens again I'll post it. It must have been something else, something unique to that watchlist.

Thanks for feedback. Please let us know...

Sorry for hijacking. Where can I get stocks list to import. I dont want to do it by hand.

Sure I am not the only person who wants that. Is there something NT can provide with? Or may be some community free source of common stocks?

I would like to see at least all LSE, NYSE, NASDAQ symbols.
