Hi Adam, I went home. :-) So I will have to take a look at this tomorrow. I should not have called the crasher *reproducible*. It happened to me about six times in the past five days, but today, nothing happened after I opened BibDesk and used it for a couple of hours. On the other hand, I *constantly* used it today and, as I said before, the crash always happened after it had been idle for a while. I also suspect that it is rather a combination of events (or applications) that triggers it but the ultimate trigger has definitely been clicking on the BibDesk icon. One thing I discovered when looking for the possible reason is that I am still on 10.4.10, though ... which I will in any case fix tomorrow. I will post again to the list in case the net crash happens.
