Thank you, thank you, thank you. I was having this same exact problem, and this little offhand remark saved my deadline. In the PDF, I had 2 messed-up tables with the narrow 1px first column and then off-the-page 2nd column (which of course made them tall and spread over several pages). In the GUI, the tables were not displaying normally (missing many internal rules), and when I clicked in them, Flare gave an error, showed the red big red X or box at the top, but did not crash.
I had several tables full of inline images, bullets, index markers, all rendering except those two, so I figured there was something that Flare was choking on, but I couldn't find it. I suspected it was the index markers, and tried moving them out of the table. I would've searched a long time, and probably removed all inline images, if I hadn't seen your comment about the TWO images in a single cell. Sure enough, both bad tables had that and removing the second image in each cell fixed the problem.
I tried your workaround of putting the second image in a span, and it did prevent the crashing, but then Flare dropped the baseline on other spans in the same cell (appearing below the text baseline in the GUI and PDF). So I had to remove the second image and reword the text to accommodate that.
FWIW, I am on Flare 11.1.2 - 12/11/2015 5:29 PM on Windows 10 home, latest update, but I suspect it has to do with the underlying .NET framework (still, I find that unacceptable in a commercial product). It really seems to be related to the OS environment, because others on my team with the same Flare version have previously built this same PDF with the two images per cell appearing correctly. Maddening to say the least.
So thank you again,
Andy
