beta2 (Uwe's installer of Friday, 12 February 2016) on windows 7.
I cannot confirm this with beta1 on Ubuntu - selecting the blank line
in the combobox works fine and doesn't freeze LyX. This may be
platform-specific.
Thanks for testing, Andrew. I can't reproduce this either, which is not
surprising because I have a similar setup to Liviu.
Uwe can you reproduce this?

I've finally discovered where the problem arose. Under Document settings
> Language I had somehow set the Other button and chosen Unicode (utf8)
and then under Language package chosen none. Changing both settings to
default resolves the problem.
I confess I know essentially nothing about encodings and cannot recall
how the problem settings arose, let alone how they became document
defaults. But if those particular values *are* chosen, they do cause a
problem. (In my ignorance, I have no idea whether someone would
consciously choose that pair of settings, or whether they are a nonsense
pairing.)
