Hi Devs, I'm giving minimal info because I want to report this before I forget, as I can live with things as they are.
I did a google search on the web - couldn't find errors sufficiently similar (and I'm not a 'C' programmer). Just installed LyX 1.4.0pre3. My first install, but I'll give a pre3 a shot. After creating a new *short* (two lines) document, with one spelling error and running spellcheck, LyX *may* crash (not always) with: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ControlSpellchecker::replace(description) Assertion triggered in T* boost::scoped_ptr<T>::operator->() const [with T = SpellBase] by failing check "ptr != 0" in file ../../../boost/boost/scoped_ptr.hpp:94 LyX: Attempting to save document /home/mtlski/newfile1.lyx /home/mtlski/newfile1.lyx.emergency Save seems successful. Phew. Aborted ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I believe it is the same error every time, regardless of the word misspelled. Sometimes there is no error, but no suggested word list either (although then a misspelled word will still be highlighted). The suggested word list box when it appears always appears without a window decoration. Selecting on a word causes the crash. Window manager is sWM. I'll report more later as I play with this if a pre4 doesn't come out first. ----- bernard
