Hi, I've reported this earlier, but may provide slightly more details here. The crash happens as follows: start LyX Edit->Preferences->Usage->Spell checker now keep changing the 'Spell command', without clicking on any of the <Restore> ... <Close> buttons. Sometimes LyX crashes immediately at the first change of the Spell command button. Other times it takes a few changes after one another, but it will eventually crash. See below for the gdb backtrace. The same story for the equivalent button in Output->Misc->Default paper size. Why does it not always crash at the first change of the button? Is it related to some erroneous access to memory, which may differ from session to session? Is the selection button accessing memory, while it is clicked? Rob.
