Hi Here is an example in which a new variable is to be manually entered, and an entry error is made by insdvertentlyinadvertently typing it into what was the the preceding entry space .
Command sequence Add Variable ;Define new variable ;Type new var name <enter>. 2 Columns appear, l.h. col year dates ; r.h. col of empty cells a cursor in first obsvn cell. Enter obsv 1,<enter> <enter > Obsvn 1 visible and cursor blinking in Cell 2 position. Suppose now an accidental entry is made e.g. Type in obsvn 2. Press <enter>.and start typing obsvn 3 before the cursor has been moved to cell3 by the second <enter> command is issued . So effectively obsvn 3 is being typed into celln2 already containing data. Press <enter>. Gretl crashes. There is nothing unusual regarding my data which comprises of numbers between 30 and 90 all with 2 decimal places Hope you can replicate the sequence.

A crash of course is never intended behavior.
