I could not make any sense of the backtrace and, once deleting the session info (note that you can simply remove the entry for the cursor position for that document, no need to remove the file), the bug does not occur anymore. So, seemingly, there is something fishy that triggers the crash when the following occurs: 1) You previously used pngs. 2) You close a document when the cursor was near (same paragraph, maybe?) an info inset. 3) You switch to svg icons. 4) You load the previously closed document. > I'm afraid I cannot reproduce it anymore after deleting the session state. Same here. It would be worth understanding the reason, but given that it seems a one-shot bug, I am not motivated to spend time on this. -- Enrico
