Segfault in comparing documents

[stefano franchi]

[repost as I sent it to the wrong lyx list by mistake]

I never use the "compare documents" feature and while trying it out today I
got a segfault. I enclosed what I got in the terminal below.
The culprit seems to be the lack of a "Title*" environment in one of the
two layouts. The two papers I compared used two different Springer
classes/layout (LNCS and svn-mono), and only one of them has indeed Title*.
Changing the environment to a regular Title allowed LyX to fix the issue.

I did not find any related bug on the tracker, btw, but I may have missed
it.

Any more info I should add to the bug report?


Cheers,

Stefano

We failed to find the layout 'Title*' in the layout list. You MUST
investigate!

This looks like a new bug indeed. Please add two simple example files to
the bug report. I am surprised actually that it is possible to compare
two files with different textclesses.
