According to the minidump, we may dereference a nullptr at [1] to cause the crash, which means the "other##struct_" is nullptr. Based on [2], it looks like we may return nullptr in the DoGetStyle##name_(). i will investigate further.

Style##name_() method is not supposed to ever return nullptr. It would be a big problem if that invariant doesn't hold.

Right, I also discussed with heycam. It looks like Style##name_() will always return a non-nullptr. So I have no idea right now.

Since the crash volume is low (less than 5 per week), the severity is downgraded to S3. Feel free to change it back if you think the bug is still critical.

Closing because no crashes reported for 12 weeks.
