Actually no sooner had I said that, but I worked out what is going on
(and added the following to bugzilla).

Hold shift and begin pressing left arrow to create a selection and
expand it left. Continue until the selection starts from the beginning
of the current line.

Then press left again, to attempt to start the selection on the end of
the previous line. LyX will abort, with an error "attempt to subscript
container with out-of-bounds index -1".

This is not the only way to generate this error but it is probably the
easiest to reproduce.

Have fun,

This error has happened to me a few times now, without needing the more
complex steps outlined below.

It seems if I hold down shift and then left a few times, to create a
highlighted region, I can make exactly the same crash happen.

It would seem to be within the selection handling routines.

Have fun,

Hi!

Just a long-shot, but could you check to see if the preference "Language Settings -> Language -> Right-to-left language support" is checked, and if so --- try unchecking it, and see if you cans till reproduce the bugs.

Abdel --- I don't know if this was already done, but if not, we should revert the RTL default setting until we fix up the crashes there (which I'm working on, but keep running into new issues...).
