Freeze/Lock-up while viewing file

[amayer5125]

Summary

After opening a file to view, I noticed Helix always froze on the same line. I'm not quite sure what is going on as nothing obvious is output in the logs and the whole terminal session seems to be unresponsive. I tried CTRL+Z to send the process to the background, but nothing happened.

Reproduction Steps

1. Download transfer.sh/examples.md.
2. hx examples.md
3. 18j
4. Session is now non-responsive.

Probably #7689. Fix could not be included in the release.

That looks like exactly the same problem I am having. I only searched open issues before reporting to see if anyone already reported it. I didn't think to search closed issues.

Let's close this as a duplicate of #8709
