Hi For a couple of weeks I have been working on a document of about 50 pages (pdf version) and have experienced about 6 crashes of Lyx in that time. I posted this list when it first happened a couple of times. At the time I had believed the problem may have been caused by some rather long tables and by the use of the Page Up/Page Down controls. The use of these seemed to correlate with the crash, which in every case, left an emergency save of the document. Tables in general seem to depict some problem in this version of Lyx.
I have since been working on a much smaller document. Martin Vermeer advised me to get a core dump on the next occasion that I got a crash. That has been done and the core dump and Martin's comments are included below. All I would add to this is that this was not preceded by the use of the PageUp/Page Down keys and neither was I involved in an Undo operation immediately before the crash to the best of my recollection. regards samar Comments by Martin Vermeer Yes... you found a Real Bug :-) Apparently in the Undo facility, that does something illegal with a paragraph. Somewhere in there a new paragraph is created by "cloning", but then it fails to copy over the font table of the old paragraph, because it doesn't exist. Does this make sense to you from what you were doing at the point of crash? Anyway I don't see the solution rightaway, and propose you post your backtrace to the lyx-devel list. Thanks for the effort!
