App closes when pressing certain keys listening to music in TV display mode using WMP theme

Emby Server Version 4.8.11.0

Emby App Version 2.234.2.0

When listening to music from a music library in TV display mode while using the Windows Media Center theme in either horizontal or vertical orientations, some keystrokes and clicks cause the Emby app to immediately close down. As far as I can tell, that unique combinations of settings is required to see the problem.

For example, in the attached screenshots, if I were to mouse click on the image of the playing item, Emby would immediately close. This happened both with an internet radio stream (strm file) and with FLAC audio files. It also closed when pressing the return key with the playing artwork selected as well. This did not happen using the Windows theme. However I was not able to find the display mode setting to change to TV mode with that theme.

The Windows theme doesn't have a TV mode.
