Hey guys, I've filed this as a MathEd bug (it's a habit), but it may in fact be something to do with the footnote. And yes, that's my expert opinion. ;)
Bug 2083: Moving upward out of a formula in Itemise to a line with a footnote causes a crash Description: When creating a list using Itemise (Itemize), if I create a formula on a line below another line with a collapsed footnote (that is to say, it only says 'Footnote', the contents are hidden) and attempt to move upwards out of the formula, LyX crashes (with appended CLI output). Cheers, Dan
