Hi Jürgen Thanks for looking into this. The file I sentwas automatically generated. I did not manually save it as a compressed file. I also checked and the option you are mentioning is not selected. However, I saw that this child document itself was checked as compressed and it was indeed a compressed file on disk. I unchecked that option. now the file has a size of 3.2 MB rather than 500 KB and is plain text. I then triggered a crash in LyX while editing this document. The resulting emergency file is now uncompressed and looks okay to me. However, Lyx freezes when I reopen LyX and LyX tries to load the emergency file. I need to rename or remove the emergency file for LyX to properly start again.
In conclusion, the behavior does not seem to have anything to do with compression. I strongly suspect that all the files LyX generates on my machine are okay. It seems that LyX freezes because of the OS-native dialog box which pops up on restart to ask me whether I want to reload the file.
