I am on Mint 22 Zara OS, and I installed the 5.2.1 KMM flatpack from the software manager. It’s been working great for several weeks, but twice today while editing a transaction I get a message to save the file and then the application exits before I can even click ok. Once was when I was changing a date, and mistyped and needed to use backspace, so wondering if backspace causes problems?
I believe there has been a relatively recent bug fix to address crashes related to dates, so how recent is your flatpak? If you post the version from Help/About KMyMoney, we can determine whether that version includes the recent fix. Still no guarantee that your problem is the one which was fixed, but it’s possible. I don’t know of any problem with backspace. I’m also curious what you did to cause the program to suggeste you save the file - I am only aware of it doing that when you try to exit with unsaved changes to the data.
Here is what I get from the About screen.

It happened both times when editing a transaction and trying to use backspace to undo a date error.
That version shows you are using a flatpak compiled from the released source. The new fix will only show up in a version compiled from git head of either master or 5.2 branch. From Download | KMyMoney clicking the Appimage link, either the Stable or Developer version should be good to test. Another temporary workaround might be to use the left arrow and then the delete key instead of backspace, or, you could select the wrong digits with the mouse and just type the replacement, correct values.
If you prefer to continue using flatpak, the nightly flatpak (built from git master branch) can be installed by running:
flatpak install -u https://cdn.kde.org/flatpak/kmymoney-nightly/org.kde.kmymoney.flatpakref
So that is a known bug?

Alternatively, a search on discuss here might also give you, if lucky, similar issues already discussed.
Do you have the autosave feature enabled? Try to turn it off and see if that cures the problem. If that is the case, then there seems to be a problem in the autosave realm.
Actually I did not have it on, but I turned it on now, because I lost about 15 minutes of entries when it crashed.
