However, it is with reasonably high frequency (>50%). The thesis is using Book (standard class) and has 14 child documents that all have a lot of floats, graphic objects, references etc. I have created a couple of documents which also behave in a similar way (even though they are content free except for Chapter headings). > > Also, instead of using the "close all" from the menu, can you enter > alt + x and then put in > buffer-forall buffer-close > and then press return. > > Are all the buffers closed?

A second use of ' buffer-forall buffer-close' caused a different crash - SIGSEGV signal caught (see attached image). The two other documents I tested each have 10 child documents within the master. One was an Article (standard class), the other was a Book (standard class). Using Close All caused both of these to become non responsive (not 100% of the time though). Using the mini-buffer commands did the same and also repeated the SIGSEGV error. In one instance, the mini buffer closed all of the buffers in the "active" split view, then repeat of the commands closed all buffers in the second view (but it left the TOC white and appearing active), and a third repeat caused LyX to become non responsive. I cant recreate the conditions which make it happen as it is a bit too random, but it has happened on two different Windows 7 machines each with different releases (2.1.2 and 2.1.3) and with the master/children created independently on each machine. I had difficulties attaching the files to the email because the thales.memphis.edu. host server kept rejecting them on the ground of "prohibited content". They were just two zipped files with LyX files in them. Instead I have sent them to Scott Kostyshak and he might post or share them instead. James
