Manual legacy build crashes for britain, >=larger fleet size

[rimbecano]

When did you start the game - 1900 or 1920? 1900
What nation were you playing? Britain
Were there any start options that were not the default? Manual build of legacy fleet
Describe the issue in detail. If the fleet size is greater than or equal to "larger", the game hangs when attempting a manual build of the legacy fleet for britain.
What were you doing when the bug occurred? Starting a game: After selecting a save slot and clicking "OK", the game remains responsive for a few seconds, then hangs (to the point that the game window can't even be moved). The game stops showing any CPU usage in task manager when this occurs.
What did you expect to happen and how was the result you saw different than you expected Expected behavior: game allows player to begin designing legacy fleet. Actual behavior: game hangs.
Can you describe how to reproduce the bug? Start a game as Great Britain with a fleet size of "Larger" or greater, with manual build turned on.
What version of the game were you playing (v1.00, v1.01, etc)? Encountered the bug on 1.18, updated to 1.23, bug is still present.

Update: This appears to be happening with the US as well, which was not the case before upgrading to 1.23.

I know there's an intermittent problem where the "Build existing fleet" popup pops up "under" the main window instead of "over" it. This makes the main window totally unresponsive. Alt-Tabbing out of and back into RTW2 moves the popup into view, thus letting you hit OK to dismiss it.

Could this be the problem?

I have tried super large fleet size with 1920 start with 1.23.

UK - it seems being locked however after "click" to another application and going back "clicking back to RTW", it properly shows "build existing fleet"
USA - it shows correctly "build existing fleet"

Try to activate another application and than try go back. 

If it does not help, can you post screenshot of your setting on screen where you select your save slot?

I had this happen sometimes with Germany and I believe Japan as well.
In my case, clicking on the RTW2 icon in the task-bar is enough to sort things out.
