Visual Studio 2013 crashes consistently when typing in an object/collection initiazlier?

Question

Has anyone else ever seen this happen? I've had Visual Studio crash over and over again when typing in an object initializer: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb384062.aspx

I suspect it's some kind of Intellisense bug, since it seems to occur only when the space or period key is pressed. I'm really curious what's triggering the sudden and reproducible crash and if there's any patches or workaround to prevent it from occurring.

The image shows where the cursor is when typing within the first set of brackets. This code appears in a method, which implements an interface member for the class.

This appears to have been caused by the "HideShow Comments" extension. I'm still not sure why it occurs, but disabling the plugin stops the crash from occurring and re-enabling the extension causes the crash to occur again. This must be a problem with Visual Studio itself, since it's the only common denominator in all these extension-related crashes.

I attached a debugger and caught the following error:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in HideShow.Implementation. Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
