Here's the situation. Load the attached file. Nothing particularly
odd in it. Put the cursor at the end of the line marked "HERE". Now
use the scroll bar to scroll up several screens. Hit space. You may
have to do this a few times until things are "just right" to cause
the crash. But you send up with a segfault when LyX goes into a loop.
For reasons I don't understand, I'm getting a lot of different
backtraces in different cases, but the trace below comes from an
interrupt, before the segfault, so maybe it's the most accurate.
There's some kind of recursion problem in the metrics calculation.
Very much not my area of expertise....
Can you do it with 1.6.2 ? And trunk ?
I don't have 1.6.2 at the moment. I'll get it. But yes, it's also in
trunk.
I cannot seem to get the crash in 1.6.2. I guess that's good. At least
it narrows the search space.
I'm not sure exactly which revision of 1.6.3svn I'm using. I compile the
new one every few days and install it. It'd be nice, actually, if the
About LyX box in devel builds had some way of conveying that. I know
that this doesn't really make no sense with svn---the tree doesn't have
a revision---but nonetheless, we could get some sensible number from
somewhere. Anyway, I've been seeing this on a couple machines, and the
LyX that's on one of them is at least a few days old.
