O-Pro just does that... :-(

I get it, too, with 2.77 on a standard Iyonix (RO 5.10).  Some documents
seem to do it more than others (it never seems to crash with Archive
templates, for example, while a relatively complex newsletter I edit can
crash Ovation every other minute if I'm unlucky).

I keep seeing mention of a 'known' frame overlap bug, but I've never seen
a mention of what this bug is or what kinds of layout to avoid.  The
newsletter contains a lot of overlaid frames, which I why I'm wondering
about it.
