Opening some .cpp source files freezes code::blocks after 2-5 seconds.

Attempting to open any of the .cpp source files from http://www.gametutorials.com/tutorials/win32-tutorials/ causes the program to almost instantly freeze and eventually crash. Any other files, including the openGL tutorials from the same site, and anything i have written myself, does not cause this behavior.

Is there any logical or clear reason for this? I attempted to search the sourceforge bug report, which for some reason was displaying the same results for any search i tried, and not allowing me to create an account.

Version is 13.12 32bit, on windows 10 10074 64bit.

Can you post the exact steps to reproduce the problem?
I've tried the first tutorial and it opened correctly.

Have you tried a recent night build?

A bit more experimentation showed me this is only happening when visual studio 2013 is set as the default compiler, or if the default compiler is changed after opening the file. ( C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC ). Should the compiler be even doing anything when a file is opened?
This also happens on windows 7 as well as 10, but opens normally with the tdm-gcc compiler.

Asking again - please post the exact and detailed steps to reproduce the problem.
Something like 1. do this, 2. do that, etc. The chance for somebody trying to reproduce a problem by vague description is minimal.

Also please try with the latest nightly build.
