I was on fulgora placing large amounts of concrete and accidentally clicked the side button on my mouse that normally switches my view to the previous surface, but instead the entire game stopped responding. I reopened the game and was able to replicate it a second time and discover it only works if certain surfaces are the previous surface.

Reproduction steps:
1. Open a valid surface in remote view so that it will be returned to when pressing the side mouse button. (Gleba worked for me, a space platform did not. My assumption is it's either planets only or only places where concrete can be placed?)
2. close out of remote view
3. start placing concrete by holding down the mouse
4. while the mouse is held down, press the side mouse button which normally takes you to the previous surface
5. crash

I've only tested placing concrete on fulgora with my character, I don't know about other planets, tiles, or placing in remote view.

It didn't crash for me (I was on gleba, remote viewing to vulcanus, gleba, fulgora, and nauvis, and a space platform).
Have you rebound any keys?

I've not rebound any keys nor changed any relevant settings to my knowledge.

I've tested it a bit more on a separate save starting on Nauvis and switching to Gleba and Vulcanus, Sometimes it crashes and sometimes it doesn't. All the times that I've been able to get it to crash I've had the placement radius really large and I was walking when I clicked the previous surface key. One or both of these may be important.

Thanks for the report. This is now fixed for the next release.
