Short description of error
Bevel modifier's Harden Normals option destabilizes Blender if Auto Smooth option is disabled
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
- Launch Blender with default scene.
- Add Bevel modifier to default cube.
- Enable "Harden Normals" on Bevel modifier properties panel.
At this point, any of the following actions will crash Blender:
- Move, rotate or scale the cube.
- Switch the cube into Edit mode.
- Enable "Auto Smooth" on the cube's mesh properties panel.
- Disable "Harden Normals".
If Auto Smooth is enabled prior to Harden Normals, Blender remains stable. However, if Auto Smooth is disabled while Harden Normals is still enabled, Blender will crash.
