Re: RC1 crashes on OSX 10.9

Vincent van Ravesteijn 11 avril 2014 11:56 Before the crash I have indeed moved some tables in the document between a sigle column and a double column areas. But it has not crashed immediately. I have started to write some supplementary text, and I have the impression that it crashed either during an automatic save or when I clicked CMD+S, I cannot remember exactly. The table are as they should be in the recovered document, but I have lost the major part of the text I have added after having moved the tables (this text has been added in a section before the tables).   Ok, be careful, if it crashes when you save it, you're sort of losing text.   Further:   -- the example that Uwe added to the bug report was also a table using multi-columns When I had this crash first, I was not using at all the multi-column module in this document, but it was just after the introduction of some tables. So, the culprit seems to be the tables, instead of their combination with multicolumn.   -- the fact that both times it is reported as a random crash usually indicates it is triggered by auto-save   -- the fact that the emergency file is written until a certain Table inset indicates that there is a problem writing the document and that is thus triggers a crash during auto-save   -- also I get the impression we end up in an infinite loop. Probably because the processors get saturated and the crash is not caught by the system, I must force quite LyX. Strangely enough, when I recover an older version of the file (nevertheless containing the tables), I can work on it without any crash, if I do not touch the tables.   Vincent Vincent van Ravesteijn 11 avril 2014 11:45 Sorry Stephen, there is no recent file in this folder, only some old reports for Skype and other softs. I had to kill LyX each time, after having waited some time. Maybe the report has not been written? Can it be written somewhere else? I cannot see anything relevant in the system Library/Logs folder either     Well, that's useful information. Apparently we end up in an infinite loop or something alike ?   Vincent  Murat Yildizoglu 11 avril 2014 11:43 Sorry Stephen, there is no recent file in this folder, only some old reports for Skype and other softs.

It should be at $HOME/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports Stephan Murat Yildizoglu 11 avril 2014 11:27 Hi, I am testing the RC1. I am working on a simple document, but Lyx seems to crash randomly, and to cause a panic in my processors. I have been able to observe this crash once after having launched LyX from the terminal, but there was not any informative message either. One specificity maybe : the document on which I am working is in a Dropbox folder, but nobody else is modifying it when I am working on it. How could I help you to locate the source of the problem?
