A while ago, I was using Skype (beta 2.2.0.35, 64 bit, running on Linux Mint) and tried to send a file to the other person.  The act of clicking Send File however caused the entire Skype program to crash.

I did a bit of hunting but didn’t find any resolution to the problem. I did find rumours that the problem may lie in a bug in Ubuntu (upon which Mint is based). However I did find a way of preventing the crash.  It is probably the simplest fix I have ever found.

I simply changed the Style.

As I said – the simplest fix ever.
