This is happening a lot for me, since version 2.1.0. In my case, both the original and the backup files are complete, whereas the emergency lacks \end_body \end_document and ends with \begin_inset Tabular I noticed that this seems to happen after I spent a long time working on the doc without saving, i. e., when the autosave kicks in. If I save the doc a lot, the crash don't happen. I'd suggest that you manually save your work and disable the autobackup in Tools -> Preferences -> Document Handling until the fix is available. -- Rudi Gaelzer Institute of Physics Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul BRAZIL Registered linux user # 153741
