I tried to preview the example file Maksim sent to the list (I’ll attach it
again).
Without the patch the crash happens when LyX is trying to highlight the error
location in the document - the line containing the offending illegal character
\u2028.
OK, I can reproduce it now. The problem is with characters
LINE SEPARATOR (U+2028)
PARAGRAPH SEPARATOR (U+2029)
Since they break line/character in string display, we get "interesting"
consequences when trying to move cursor. It should not be difficult to
avoid the crash, but the result will not be satisfactory. I see two
possibilities:
1/ replace them with proper line-break or paragraph-break on import
from Unicode text. This is not 100% fail-safe, but it be easy and
help in many cases.
2/ keep them but interpret them as space everywhere for display. This
will not give the same as PDF output, I guess
3/ find a way to replace them with proper line/paragraph breaks in our
document seamlessly. This seems a bit difficult to achieve, actually.
What do you think? 1/ is easy but does not fix existing documents. And
there are many other ways of adding these characters in a documents,
actually.
I think it is tiime to open a bug report.
