This issue also happens with Chinese version of Office IME 2010.

Attached nvda.log was obtained with NVDA 2013.1beta1 (portable) and Microsoft Office IME 2010 New Phonetic (Traditional Chinese).

• Windows 7 64bit Ultimate (English interface)
• US keyboard
• no installed version of NVDA
• Default input language: Microsoft Office IME New Phonetic 2010

Microsoft Office IME 2010
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30390

InputMethodEditor x86 zh-tw.exe is installed, because Microsoft says thet if the user is using 32bit version of licensed Microsoft Office, 32bit version of IME should be installed.

The log says nothing, but eSpeak suddenly stop speaking and NVDA crashes.
After that, Windows Explorer is very sluggish and difficult to use without rebooting computer.

According to my test with Japanese Office IME 2010, this issue is not regression regarding input composition support, because is happens since NVDA 2009.1.

Attached patch is working so far as we tested, although we are not sure it breaks something different.

As far as investigated by NVDA Japanese team colleagues, this freeze occurs when Office IME 2010 Japanese is default input and a dialog is shown which has the initial focus on a button control.

The button control is a native control, so it can obtain keyboard focus. Office IME 2010 sub-classes such focusable object and enables or disables IME.
UIA should be disabled for such buttons.

Is this a crash or a freeze? If it's a crash, NVDA should restart, but to be sure, is the nvda.exe process still running?

I'm concerned that disabling UIA for the Button window class is just hiding the problem and not actually fixing it, as I don't follow why the input method would subclass it.

To be exact, NVDA doesn't restart when the issue occurs.
It should be said that NVDA freezes.

!WinDbg remote logs are sent to Mick, but I forgot to share. NVDA 2012.3 rev 6037 is used.

First and second files as follows are obtained when Delete key is pressed on Desktop.

Third file is obtained when Notepad Save As dialog crashed NVDA.

I am unable to install the Office 2010 Japanese input method as when I run the installer either on Win7 or win8, I get:
"この更新プログラムは、このオペレーティング システムには適用できません。"
According to Google, it translates as:
"This update does not apply to this Operating System".
I guess I need an actual Japanese copy of Windows to run this?

The download page (in Japanese)
https://www.microsoft.com/ja-jp/office/2010/ime/default.aspx
says that

(1) Valid license of Office 2010, 2007, 2003 or XP is required.

(2) Supported systems are: Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP Service Pack 3, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003

It does not mention Japanese Windows, however, Windows 8 is not applicable.

Office 2013 is also supported, according to the download page.

Add 'Button' to bad UIA window classes as it seems to fix a freeze when using Japanese and Chinese Office 2010 IME in some dialogs. Re #3064

We have decided to take this patch as a fix. Still not great as it possibly hides the real cause, but until we can find it, this is good enough.
However, please test the "next" branch when this is incubated in a minute, and if you can confirm it fixes the bug in next, then it will hopefully hit master before our release freeze.
