Hello,

I have been using TeXmacs since version 1.0.1.7. I can confirm that version 1.99.2 has brought about changes that lead to many crashes and loss of work. I use the platform
on CentOS 6.4 (native and virtual), Mac OS X 10.10, and Windows 8.1, and also use it in classes I teach (hundreds of students, virtual CentOS 6.4). The most frequent crashes
are related to working with graphics, but a set of actions that consistently leads to a crash is:

(1) Define a new beamer document, set screens, title environment
(2) Introduce a bullet list
(3) Highlight elements of the bullet list including the last items on the page

An attempt to copy/cut/paste crashes the program.

Working with PNG images that are inserted in the document (as opposed to linked) is much slower than before, and also leads to random crashes. Even documents with
linked only images often crash.

Export to PDF directly from TeXmacs ( comment #4) solved the printing issue

Do you have ghostscript installed? 
 
It crashes a lot regardless of having or not having images. Crashes are less frequent with documents not having imported figures. I wish it was once in two hours, it may be once every several minutes. I work with two mac computers (my macbook pro, and a mac pro workstation). Both behave the same with TeXmacs
 
This is definitely very weird. 

Can you please provide a way to reproduce the problem? Meaning: a document and a sequence of actions after opening it which should lead to a crash.

Once you have this, please open a bug report at https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=texmacs and upload the file, describe the actions crashing TeXmacs and if possible add the MacOS crash report.

TeXmacs[16298:507679] Can’t open input server /Library/InputManagers/CTLoader

This is not a TeXmacs error message. From Transmission's bug tracker:

"CTLoader is a toolbar that Vuze installed. Follow the directions here to uninstall: ​http://forums.cnet.com/5208-6126_102-0.html?threadID=356498"
 
I do not know if this is related to something, since I have read and execute permissions to that path
other (numerous) errors are related to fonts and appear on the shell whenever I click on any key.

Try opening texmacs in setup mode: hold the option (Alt) key and double click on the icon.
 
An “Error messages” windows pops up with categories std and warning messages of the form
“Warning:  resynchronizing for path [ 0, 0, 1 ]” for each key
There are 6 such messages for each key press that appear also on the shell, and then 
TeXmacs] debug-fonts, Try tfm ectt10.tfm
TeXmacs] debug-fonts, Try tfm cmr10.tfm
 
The last number in the message 
“Warning:  resynchronizing for path [ 0, 0, 1 ]”
increases by 1 each key press 

Please append the document causing this issue to your bug report.

So I believe this is a font issue….

It might be that the font cache is out of sync with your fonts. Maybe some were (un)installed after you run TeXmacs for the first time. Running TeXmacs setup (alt+double click) might fix this. If it doesn't, try closing TeXmacs and renaming the folder /Users/yourname/.TeXmacs to something else, then start TeXmacs in order to rebuild it.

Best,
