Spyder crashes when trying to save IPython console with graphics

Long time I was not reporting this, suspecting local compatibility troubles to cause it. But now all related libraryes (including PyQt4) updated and no warning messages in console shown. But trouble still here. Spyder crashes when trying to save IPython console when some graphics (from pyplot in my case) displayed in it. Similar print function works fine, saving single picture from console works too. But when selecting “Save as HTML/XML” it displays save-as dialog and after click “save” just crash all spyder without any log or traceback. So all I can provide as error information is screenshoots and windows error details from crash message.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. execute something like

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot(np.sin(np.arange(314)/50.),'g--')
plt.show()

to display graphics in console

1. right click on IPython console and select “Save as HTML/XML” (or just ctrl+s when IPython console in focus)
2. select valid file name and click “save”

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? expected some resulted HTML but receive crash all spyder without log or trace. Windows error message is
