Ah this is very intersting! Perhaps this is already known, but if not, your observation gives an idea for a quick workaround (and for narrowing in on the root cause). Chris, Can you open some documents and then open the command buffer (I think with alt+x or command + x maybe on mac?). This will open a small toolbar at the bottom of your screen. Enter the following in the toolbar and press Enter: command-sequence buffer-close-all; lyx-quit Does it quit successfully, without crash, if you do it this way? Scott
