I'm currently testing everything out on Windows 2000 (Tim's binary), and I
get the same thing, though the crash happens every time, not just the first
time, and it doesn't matter whether you use the combo-box or the styles
dialog. Also, this only happens if you re-select the text; if you change
the style to Chapter Heading 1 and then to Numbered Heading 1 right away
without selecting any text again, it works fine. It also works fine if you
don't have a return after "test."
On another note, my install crashes whenever I try to apply "Endnote
Reference" from the combo box or the styles dialog. In addition, when I
exported a document to Xhtml, Netscape 6.1 and IE both give me an XML parse
error saying "End tag 'div' does not match the start tag 'p'. Line 104,
Position 3
", though Netscape 4.76 reads it fine. I haven't spent enough time looking
at the project to know whether or not that's to be expected, but if not I
can file a bug for it.
