As a matter of fact, just yesterday I was finishing up a 40+ page document
when this happened -- everything went blank, then 30 seconds later, WriteNow
died.  Unfortunately, I forgot to look for console messages.  I, like you,
was changing the line height when this happened.

Frequent saves of the document reduce losses, since a copy of the busy 
document may be opened.  (Luckily I save very frequently & lost little.)
Perhaps this bug report got lost with the one entitled "No Underlining
Supported." :-)
