LTSpice 26 minor bug when .NOISE points to wrong current source

Thread Summary

The user encountered an LTSpice crash when using the .NOISE command incorrectly on a short-circuited current source. The support engineer confirmed the issue and will report it. For voltage sources with series resistors, the .NOISE command does not crash and correctly outputs zero noise.

This is a highly unlikely simulation situation, and hardly needs fixing.

I swapped between two current sources, using a short circuit across the current source that was momentarily not wanted.  Then when the .NOISE command was used, but incorrectly pointing to the short circuited current source, LTSpice crashed.  If the same thing is done with voltage sources + series resistors, the .NOISE output doesn't crash and gives zero noise, which is the expected result.
