David,

Do you start from a register transaction or work from scratch? I
normally start from a register transaction.

 I have fifty or more scheduled transactions working fine in release
2.4.10.  I cannot recall having a crash either in Windows environment or
in Ubuntu 11.10.  I edit about a third of them each time they come up,
usually changing some text, but occasionally I change the start date of
some that should be every month on the third Thursday, which is not an
available choice.  These do not trigger a crash for me.

Good luck.

David C
