Hi!

This could be related to a(nother) bug I found in recording from midi
input (either a real MIDI keyboard or just the Virtual
Keyboard/vkeybd). When you activate recording without seq24 being in
the "play" mode it writes these "ghost" notes to the first column of
the pattern but leaves them hidden. This can lead to a crash when you
try to select the "invisible" notes a couple of times a row. It can be
avoided by never having the record functionality enabled without seq24
being in the play mode. The "invisible notes" can also be removed by
selecting the place where the notes appeared during recording and
pressing delete.

It's possible that this is also causing the corrupted files. I have to
try to save a file which has that kind of corrupt patterns. I'll
report back here if I also get a corrupt file.
