[repost as I sent it to the wrong lyx list by mistake] I never use the "compare documents" feature and while trying it out today I got a segfault. I enclosed what I got in the terminal below. The culprit seems to be the lack of a "Title*" environment in one of the two layouts. The two papers I compared used two different Springer classes/layout (LNCS and svn-mono), and only one of them has indeed Title*. Changing the environment to a regular Title allowed LyX to fix the issue.
I did not find any related bug on the tracker, btw, but I may have missed it. Any more info I should add to the bug report? Cheers, Stefano terminal output: lyx: SIGSEGV signal caught! Sorry, you have found a bug in LyX, hope you have not lost any data. Please read the bug-reporting instructions in 'Help->Introduction' and send us a bug report, if necessary. Thanks! Bye.
