Adrien,
Thanks for the suggestions.
It would seem to me that Finish/Ctrl-S is pretty reduced.
I currently have about 12 tabs open. 10 registers, the CoA, and one report
(granted, it's a multicolumn report).
Saving after every edit is a remarkably annoying idea, especially given
how long each save takes. I won't be doing that.
As for a backup, I'm not sure why I'd go to a backup. The problem doesn't
always happen, so I don't believe it's a problem with data corruption. I'm
trying to move forward with my books, not backward.
Nothing is holding me back from 4.11.

down the trigger of the crash.
If you normally have many tabs open, particularly reports, perhaps
consider closing everything but the CoA, and then keep only the register
you need at one time.
Since it is so easy to do, perhaps saving after each new transaction or
edit?
Then try reconciling. Then save. (does that reconcile still take longer
than usual?)
Do you have a backup, or recall at what point your file didn't crash?
Anything holding you back from 4.11? I don't see anything particularly
noted for solving a crash of this type in the release notes, but perhaps
programming fixes were made that *might* avoid this issue.
Regards,
Adrien

Hello,
I'm running GC4.10 on Win10, and I've been running into numerous
crashes in the last few days while trying to catch up on my finances.
Ironically, many of these crashes happen when I attempt to save my file.
My usual workflow when catching up is to open the pdf bank statement
and work through it to catch any omitted transactions, which I then enter
into GC. After entering the transactions, I will then perform a reconcile
for the account. Upon completing the reconciliation, I save my file. Over
the last two days, GnuCash has crashed several times when I Ctrl-S at this
point to save the file. (When I say crashed, I mean GnuCash simply
disappears from the task bar, and a restart gives the usual file lock
errors). This is, to say the least, frustrating.
I have checked the trace files for the days in question, but there is
nothing that seemingly refers to the crash. The trace mostly contains
thousands of iterations of:
* 13:32:51 WARN <qof> [gnc_numeric_to_decimal()] Rounding required
when 'never round' specified.
As for what I might be doing to cause the crashes, I really can't say,
but I wonder if there is a conflict that happens when I click "Finish" in
the reconciliation and then click Ctrl-S shortly after. I have noticed on
my machine that there is a noticeable delay in the program between when I
finish the reconciliation and when the program returns control to my input.
(There's actually noticeable delays in *everything* I do in GnuCash on my
machine, which is another issue that may or may not be related to my
machine). I wonder if the software crashes because Ctrl-S interrupts the
reconcile closing process, and leaves something corrupted.
