Repeated crash

Good morning, I know how you guys are about Sigil crashing, and I admire your attitude. I have been working on a series of books from the same author, and I have discovered a consistent action that causes this dreaded occurrence. Unfortunately, I don't think you'll be able to reproduce it--I've experimented, and it appears to be a unique occurrence based on the cumulative actions up to that point.

Here's what is going on. I'm working on the book, and finally arrive at the point where I am ready to create the Table of Contents. I create the internal TOC, then I go to the TOC I already have in the file, and make a copy of it. (There's some formatting inside it that I want to retain.)

I then go to create an HTML TOC, and every time, Sigil crashes. I reopen the same file, create the HTML TOC with no problems, and go about my business.

With the most recent one, I saved it beforehand, then made a copy of the entire file by copying/pasting in my file manager, then tried to create the HTML TOC, and got the expected crash. So I do have a copy of the file exactly as it was before the crash. But unfortunately, opening that copy (actually a COPY of that COPY--so I can leave the original copy unmolested) and performing the same action doesn't cause a crash.

Not wanting to get in trouble with the copyright police, I'm not attaching it, of course. If there's anything else I can do to help you to track down this pesky little error, please let me know.

Now, on a completely unrelated topic, I'm wondering if there's any way the user can modify one of Sigil's INI files to add "Add Link" to the right-click context menu?

Thanks for all you folks do. If I were to say that I totally love Sigil, I'd only be making an understatement.
