Hi,

That is an interesting piece of information. On Windows and Linux if you open a book in Sigil, you are actually replacing the current book. Are you by any chance using BookView to do your editing instead of CodeView? Do you have the Preview Window enabled at that time?

On Mac OS X, if you open a file you simply get a new MainWindow and can switch back and forthing editing one book and then the other. Since I use and develop on Mac OS X, I have never seen this issue. Please try changing to CodeView and turning Off Preview before trying to overwrite it with a new book? Also, please try doing a file save as on the old book, before attempting to overwrite it.

Does any of these impact what happens?

Thanks,

KevinH

When using 8.1 I was editing single books. After installing 8.2, I started editing a series of books. The crash happens when I open a new book while having the previous book still open in Sigil. It sometimes doesn't crash until I actually click on something - doesn't seem to matter what I click on. If I close Sigil after each book, then re-open it works ok.

KevinH: I also changed the font back to "Consolas" with no change - still crashing.

Thanks for your help.
