I'm using 2.1.4 on OpenBSD.

While editing a large file (book) I've twice had it suddenly corrupted
which made it impossible to edit. Doing anything, such as inserting a
space or deleting a letter, causes the whole para to be struck through
(horizontal lines through the text) and the text changes colour. There is
also a vertical line on the right.

Oddly I can still make PDFs when this happens but it is no longer
possible to change anything in the file. I don't know what I did
preceding the change but it's happened twice. I spent many hours trying
to fix it but in the end gave up and replaced the file with a slightly
older one from offline backup. So far this is OK.

Any ideas about what could cause this? I tried reinstalling lyx but the
problem didn't go away.
