Tested on: AMD X3 455, 8gig ram, R7 360
Loaded Factory Settings

Windows 7, Proprietary Driver 16.150.0.0
Blender Versions : 2.57a, 2.70a, 32e2036

Linux:
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Mesa 11.2.0
Blender Version : 2b485e2

Xubuntu 15.10, Proprietary Driver 15.201.1151
Blender Version : 2683dd8

Calling the Search menu (Spacebar) outside 3D View will give options that can cause crashes and capturing the mouse in the active editor (where the cursor was) depending on the context and tool selected.

In this case, while the 3D view is in Edit Mode, placing the cursor in the timeline and searching (by pressing the spacebar) for certain mesh edit tools will crash Blender - for instance: Bevel, Screw, Spin, Inset if any of the faces, vertices or edges are selected. If there is no active selection in the Edit mode - nothing happens.

However, sometimes the crash will happen even if nothing is selected like Duplicate and Extrude at 3D cursor.

Some other tools will work, while some of them (like Extrude, To Sphere, Translate, Resize and Rotate - those that use controling the values with moving the mouse around) will capture the mouse in the Window (in this example the Timeline) until left or right click.

Depending on the 3D View window context - if the tool isn't available in it it will do nothing. For instance : If the 3D View is in Sculpt Mode calling any of the Transforms will not capture the mouse but it will in Object Mode.

The bug is present in 2.57a. Dew to some tools working differently (no Bevel etc.) it is triggered by some other searches like Duplicate and Extrude at 3D cursor.

Thanks for fixing the issues so quickly, but I'm afraid I've found two more cases. :(

Build: 636195e , Win7, Loaded Factory settings

Edit mode select vertices (faces or edges) >Change the Timeline to the Node Editor> With the cursor over the Node Editor call Search Menu and search for Edge Bevel Weight or Edge Crease > The tweak with the arrow and dotted lines will show up> Left or Right click will crash Blender.

This problem doesn't show up in the timeline (Tested some other ones but they didn't trigger the bug) - nothing happens but it crashes in the Node Editor.
