I recently encountered a problem that cost me several hours. I'm posting my story in case someone else encounters it and also in the hope that someone might have an insight into the cause.

For no apparent reason, Frame began crashing on attempting to save a particular chapter file in a book. The file has several anchored frames (floating, anchored at top of column) and a cross reference to each. All of the anchored frames, their contents, and cross references had been in the file for many months with no problem.

Various experiments isolated the problem to one of the anchored frames. Deleting the frame stopped the crashes but wasn't much of a fix because I needed the frame. Eventually I found that moving the anchor/link for the frame to a different paragraph eliminated the crashes.

I'm using Frame 7.2p158 on Windows XP SP3. For what it's worth, exporting to MIF and back to Frame didn't help, nor did deleting and recreating the anchored frame in the same location.
