You probably already know that I don't agree with this conclusion. I think the 
problem is that we retain "inserted" paragraph breaks at positions where there 
is no paragraph break. This is inherently wrong. The fact that lyxfind can't 
find the change correctly is then just a symptom and not the bug itself. I've 
been trying to prevent those "ghost" paragraph breaks, but I didn't finish it 
yet. There are still some cornercases left.

Moreover, I don't know how the crash can reproduced, I only know that it 
crashed on me while experimenting with the file attached to the bug.

Yet again, I have done some work on this, but I was a bit too ambitious. I 
wanted to make a solution that would be intuitive and correct in all very 
complex cases of documents with numerous childs with different parents in 
multiple views. I think I can come up with a simple solution that just prevents 
LyX from crashing.

According to Abdel it is not. However, it has always been the design that we 
close inset-dependent dialogs when the inset's document was closed. (I hope I'm 
not mixing up 1.5.x, 1.6.x and 2.0.0svn here). At some point, we lost this 
connection, so I think this would be correct for branch. In trunk we now have 
the new InsetDialog design (and I hope the problem is gone there). 

>Anything else?

I'm really really really bothered by the scrolling issue (bug 6454). My 
colleagues have been cursing and yelling my name over and over again that the 
scrolling problems makes their work like hell.. 

This seems to be introduced in 1.6.5, but I don't really know how that could 
have happened. Do other people see the problem too (at least Pavel saw it) ? 
Could you help me to find some reproducible case ? Any ideas how this could be 
caused by looking at the changes towards 1.6.5 ?

I need to have a serious look at this.

Vincent
