I reinstalled whole system (initialise) and then fresh Witcher 3 install - crashes. I have 800GB free on HDD so that's not the issue. Yesterday two crashes on trade menu - obvious bug.
That's good to know and will probably help to rule out certain things as potential issues.

Not sure what savegame should help as finally I managed to do trade I wanted (3rd attempt), so its quite random.
This is also useful. If you could provide a saved game from immediately before this trade and send that in with a brief description of what steps to take to cause the (maybe) crash?

Oh, the funny thing before reinstall was that the graphics seemed to be 'doubled' almost like when Geralt is drunk - especially was visible on the sea (like I saw two masts on my boat or waves were doubled, also Geralt). Its gone after reinstall but again... Why it happend ?
And this is weird. Likely because computers can be stupid, stupid-faces that to stupid things for stupid reasons because they're sooo stupid. (Seriously, if I run into major issues with something, my absolute last-resort troubleshooting step is to shut the entire PC / console / mobile down for, like, 48 hours, then cold boot it. Sometimes, the problems just magically vanish...like the device was in a better mood after its nap.)
Seriously, though, it looks like some of the shaders got borked during the update or something. As long as you're not seeing anything now, we can probably dismiss that as a one-off glitch.

Just to address general issues with inventory / trading / game crashing when looking at item details / etc.:
Whenever you update the game, certain inventory items may be affected (...for many, various reasons). This can create a "new ID" for those items and cause issues with existing data in your save state. If you experience trouble:
1.) Un-equip absolutely everything (weapons, armor, bombs, potions, etc.)
2.) Dump everything into your stash (your
entire inventory)
3.) Travel between regions (e.g. Velen to Skellige).
4.) Go to a stash in the new region and take things again.
In general, hoarding huge numbers of items is eventually going to cause a problem. If you are experiencing any form on inventory "lag", it's a great sign that you have too much stuff, and problems may begin occurring. Try to sell off stuff you don't need.
Issue 2 is that after a certain amount of game-time and/or saves for a single playthrough, the inventory IDs get wonked. This seems to be a result of rather extreme playthrough-time, though (~1,500+ hours / ~2,000+ saves). If you've been playing for only ~200 hours (that's plenty for most people to get through the entire main campaign + DLC for
both standard and NG+), this is almost certainly not your problem. Beginning a new game completely resets this "clock", as well.
TL;DR
+ Do the 1-4 steps above if suffering from inventory / trading screen crashes.
+ Avoid hoarding in your inventory. Massive inventory of junk = problem. Sell,
sell,
sell!
+ If you've been playing the same character for, like, 1,500 hours, time to start a new game.
