Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.1) Different crash from the one I reported before: Create a new document. Create a new style. (I named mine "body"). Make body inherit standard, make body follow body. Close style manager. Set current para to body.

Created an attachment (id=17112) [details] patch for KoStyleManager.cpp This patch should fix this problem (and probably also some other crashes with inherited styles). The problem was, that it was saving a pointer to the style in the changedStyles list, which is deleted later, instead of the original one.

Changed heading to indicate the fact that there is a patch.

The patch fixes the crasher, but does not seem to work perfect since now once I applied the steps described by boud, on re-open the style-manager first-time (and only first-time) the Next-style is "Standard" rather then the before defined "body". This happens only the first time the style-manager got reopened. If I close the style-manager again and reopen it, the next-style is "body" as expected.

The patch got applied to 1.6-branch and 2.0-trunk. A lot of thanks to boud for the report and to Alex for the great fix!
