I haven't had coredumps, but have seen some strange behaviour, but
cannot reproduce it. It sounds like you have seen something similar in
Insert mode - can you reproduce it? My suggestion about removing the
delete in one staff only was only a suggestion based on the fact that
the code wasn't written with different length staffs in mind. If it is
needed and is not badly broken we should keep it, (and add the delete in
all staffs option).
