Please report the exact version of Sigil used (as this code was touched recently) and the version of Qt being used (see the Sigil "About" window) and of coursewhich OS and version you are using.

Thanks!

0.9.6. and loaded QT 5.4.2 win 10 64 bit fully updated

may not be the absolute latest, I only update when nagged. this crash has been around since version 6 or thereabouts.
i suspect that something is trying to save the stylesheet while something else is busy tidying it.. so I just proceed very cautiously- change a few styles, delete a few also by and dedications, save, continue.... all I am doing is prepping to read the way I like it, nothing but the main story pages and with my preferred font sizes, margins etc.

one other issue if i may - only in the more recent versions , if I delete a single stylesheet line - say an unwanted line height or font family, the displayed page then jumps a little, or the page stays still & the cursor jumps? Either way it no longer points at the now blank line. Does that make sense
