Or maybe it's just not a problem that most people run into. You should
be careful to draw conclusions from the _absence_ of information. That
hardly ever works.
For what it's worth, I do not have any trouble cutting or copying a menu
item from one menu and pasting it into another. This is true whether I
use a MenuStrip or the older MainMenu component. In fact, using the
MainMenu component I can actually drag-and-drop the menu item, rather
than being forced to cut/paste.
Furthermore, from your description it doesn't sound to me at all as
though Visual Studio is _crashing_. You got an error message, and IMHO
it is more likely related to some of your own code that is being
executed for some reason as a result of moving the menu item.
Whatever's going on here, it's not because Visual Studio has trouble
copying and pasting.
Now, if you want to provide a concise-but-complete example of code that
reliably reproduces the problem, there may be someone who is willing to
take the time to compile the code and try to help you. But so far you
really haven't given anyone anything concrete to go on, making it very
difficult to provide any sort of reasonable answer. The lack of an
answer has a lot more to do with the vagueness of the question than it
does with any inherent problem with Visual Studio.
