--------------------
Having re-created the crash on purpose a few times, I may be able to
explain better what I am doing when the crash happens.
1. After I have deleted (w/ delete key) 'hard' spaces (marked by the
red 'u-looking' symbols) in a certain block of text,
2. I use the down arrow key to go from that block of text to the next
block that has 'hard spaces' at the beginning (this is the subsequent
block of text)
3. I then delete the 'hard spaces' in that block
4. I next try to join the second block of text with the previous block
using the backspace key
5. Then the crash occurs
This crash has occured going from standard to standard, from description to standard and from itemize to standard.
Kayvan - I tried your instructions " gdb /usr/bin/lyx core" and
couldn't get then to work.... yet.
(BTW, I have been RTFM, but you must remember that I am a FNG to this
genre. -- Not to worry though, I won't give up cause the alternative is
to return to the world where one is trated like a mushroom!) (oh yea, and
I won't tell anyone that you are really are a good guy, you secret is safe
with me. ;-)
If I need to do something else just let me know. I'm willing to do whatever.
Thank you ALL for your promt attention to this.
