Try on the master branch. There have been many bug fixes since may.

also without a reproduction case this is not actionable. panic like this could be caused by many many different things. Please provide a reproduction case or this is not actionable.

Regarding reproducibility, I was just editing a file. I have re-opened the file and can edit it, and it hasn't crashed. Is there anyway to establish which action caused this?

Given that the version of helix is out-of-date, we can leave the suggested fix as "bump version".
If it persists i'll open a new issue.

I believe this was probably fixed by #7621, if you had a shell script string in the file it would make sense

Thanks - yeah, this does look like a duplicate. Apologies. I tried searching the whole error. Too specific.
