@charleski - while the scenario you describe of badly formatted tags from user error causing merge issues is undoubtedly correct, that is most definitely not the problem I have had. As I said above, I now save (when I remember) the document right before doing the merge. If the merge goes wrong, I close and reopen Sigil, reopen the document and perform the merge straight away, and it will work. So it is not related to the document content. I have noted that I must restart Sigil itself in this situation. If I merely close the document, reopen it and perform the merge again, the exact same merge failure will take place, where the source file content is lost. This will happen repeatedly until I close Sigil down and reopen it. So something has gotten very ill inside Sigil itself at that point.
