Hi all got an issue build 1729

Once I create a world and then start to create a character if I scroll down in the profession section I get a crash ☹ game just freezes up.

In the version I’m using (1733) I use a pre-made char template and it works until I encounter any zombie then it just crashes

This was a kind of silly error, it was trying to write the list of profession items outside the window (curses window, not the whole game window) because the list was too long. We missed it because it was only causing a crash on windows (specifically in catacurses).

This fixes it: [https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/8132](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/8132)

That’s odd, I thought we got it 😕  
Can you see if build 1738 works for you?  
If not you’re running into a different bug.
