Hi Rob, Thank you for the kind words. I pushed updated code to master branch on the remote server. I did some debugging this morning, and I'm almost sure that there is some problem with QTreeView's drag and drop. I examined the entire project again, and it seems that corrupted model indexes are what cause the program to crash. Specifically, Corkboard::dataChanged() and Corkboard::updateScene() seem to have a lot of problems. I have been looking at these two functions for the entire morning, and I still don't know what to do with them. I'm moving on to lyx bug tracker, and I look forward to talking to you next week.
By the way, I couldn't send emails to lyx-gsoc2013 list serve, because it was my another email address that was added to that list. I cc'ed lyx-devel in this email, and will do so thereafter.
