Hi all,
So LyX (2.1.0, Mac OS 10.6) stopped responding after I did something
fairly routine to a file (adding references), and I forced the program
to quit. Now I can reopen LyX, but the file I was working on will not
open--LyX just beachballs. To figure this out, I opened the .lyx file
in a text editor, and saw that about 2/3rds of the file just got
lopped off! The lyx.emergency file is missing those parts, too. I
restored the previous version of the file via Dropbox so I didn't lose
much work.
So, is it this?

Probably. Did the file end with \begin_inset Tabular?
OSX didn't generate a crash report, did it? We have been having trouble
getting information
about the cause of this crash. I have been calling it "the mystery
crash". People see it, but
no-one can reproduce it.
LyX 2.1.1 will change the way the file gets saved, so that the original
file is not over-written
until the new one has successfully been saved. That will at least
prevent any dataloss except
whatever you've done since the previous save. It should be out within a
couple weeks.
