Try this for yourself in Edit-Book:

1. The err-msg:

Add into a tag '<p>' the 'id=""' –> '<p id="">'

then try to make a link that leads into this same xhtml-file

before the great dialogue comes, there appears this err-msg

one can quit this by the 'ok' button,

but it may reappear many times more, when searching for the target thru the headline on the right side

2. The crashdown:

In this same file, containing a '<p id="">',

drag-and-drop operations of html-text-parts may lead to an immediate crash without any dialogue, the 'Edit-Book' just disappears, nothing else than this

Thanks for everything
