Hi,

Yes the fix for this crash and a fix for disappearing css are the only changes in Sigil 0.8.5. I don't think this fix is directly causing your problems but this change did make a merge crash much easier to occur (and track down and fix).
But I could be wrong and that full disconnect when a file is deleted (and its tab is closed) may be doing some harm that I can't detect on my builds and testing.

I do have an alternative more focused way to fix that Create TOC crash that I will put into Sigil 0.8.6 that should be ready for release in a week or so along with the merge crash fix, and hopefully a fix for using audio and video on Windows if I can figure that out as well in time.

So if this bug is hitting you and the exact same sequence of events does not cause a problem in Sigil 0.8.4, then you might want to revert to 0.8.4 until 0.8.6 comes out. If on the other hand you can recreate this in Sigil 0.8.4, then it must be a new bug that needs to be tracked down. If so the sooner the better.

Take care,

Kevin

If I create the TOC first, then make structure changes such as file deletes and splits, then recreate the TOC, the new headers I've added are sometimes shown at the end of the TOC, regardless of the file sequence number in the book browser.

The out of sequence toc entries don't work when Sigil is closed, and upon reopening Sigil, I find that the files that these TOC entries referred to have
been deleted. This has happened 3 or 4 times since 8.5 was released. None of this occurs If I initially create the TOC as my last workflow item.

I need more time to test all this, but is anyone else seeing this, or something like this?
