NGUI is blamed for unity crashing

When I switch platform between devices in unity 4.1, the entire app comes crashing. There is a bug report with a unity dev reproducing it using NGUI examples here:

I thought if you don't know of this already, perhaps you would like to, since this makes unity 4.1 unusable to a number of people, I presume, because obviously we aren't going to stop using the best ui kit out there for a bump in the unity version!

Yup, known bug in Unity 4.1. Start a new scene before switching platforms to avoid it.

Thanks so much for the tip on creating a new blank scene - was having the same crashing issue when switching Unity project types.

Thanks for this tip.  This same tip works if you are experiencing Unity Editor crashes when attempting to build Asset Bundles in a project with NGUI installed.
