I've tried that and can't reproduce. The characters don't often show up
correctly, but I never get a SIGSEGV.

Hey Scott,

I actually don't have the file now since I overwrote it after fixing the
problem, but I think you could replicate it by putting in a "bad" character
and trying to paste it into lyx and then pdf it? I am not really sure what
constitutes a bad character in lyx versus something that is okay in word.

Christos, do you have an example file that you can send us?

Perfect, looking at the source pane helped diagnose the problem -- an
imbalanced space from MS word -- great suggestion! I did not know that
source pane even existed before.

(I would have added more details, like an example, but I wasn't sure what
could be causing it before. I am using the latest version of lyx on a
windows machine FYI.)

Thank you for teaching me this new trick!

Hey everyone,

I've googled around and there doesn't seem to be a consensus about the 
source of the problem -- some just suggest making sure the lyx is the 
latest version.


I've attached the error as a screen shot. But, the problem seems to be 
rooted in some text that I copy/pasted from a word doc. The formatting 
was different, so I first pasted into another word doc with no special 
formatting, and then into lyx. But when I try to pdf the document, it 
crashes. (Before, it would crash when I highlighted the pasted in 
text.) It seems to be "normal" now that I took that part of the text out.


Any ideas what is going wrong?

A first thought is to look at the LyX document the document with the 
offending text pasted in, and use View > Source Pane to get a look at 
what the source text going to LaTeX looks like. That might let you spot 
some character that looks harmless in the GUI (and in Word) but actually 
is the Unicode character for the apocalypse or something.


Failing that, could you post a minimal example that contains just enough 
text to cause LyX to blow up at your end?


Also, it might help to know what operating system you use, what LaTeX 
system (TeXLive, MikTeX, ...) and what version/build of LyX (Help > 
About LyX).
